My 1993 850 has the two piece control arms which are considered obsolete when you look at it from FCP's perspective. During the 1994.5 year they switched to the "wonderful decision to increase more income" of a one piece unit... FCP says I must upgrade to this combined use control arm for either $37 or $145. I can agree that the OEM Volvo part is great but not for $145... Why? cuz I already have replaced the OEM Volvo ball joint in my original control arm. My situation is that the bushings are showing their age not only by their performance but just by the way they look: cracking.

Couldn't I just go with these?
