I had a cheapie FCP Shanghai left control arm go west in short order perhaps
because the Chinese supplied an ordinary soft threaded bolt to lock the Ball into the steering knuckle, and because it was NOT A HARDENED lock pin it mashed away in a few week of low around town mileage as the soft bolt deformed.

Then FCP sent a "Meyle Heavy duty" replacement and that just failed inspection
and didn't do 15K miles, mostly around town.... more junk.

I can get an OEM control arm from Volvo at a premium price, but what assurance is there that todays OEM part is the same as the 1995 OEM part, and that the Chinese have started sourcing from Shangai junk merchants?

I see on the Moog website that they offer four different control arms for the 1995
950 depending on Chassis numbers.

Then I did a quick search for the Moog control arms no questions about chassis nrs! one place $40 and another $99 with 15% off and some other promo stuff.
It pays to shop around.

Any ideas abot Moog?

I'm fed up with crap suspension parts, and am nervous about where Volvo gets their parts now. No sense in paying a huge markup for nothing.
