Rear delta arm bushes.

I may have to replace the outer delta arm bushes on my 850 if they fail the MOT. Anybody bought these from any other source other than main dealer, I know PFV do them but I also know that Scantech stuff is pants, anyone had any experience with them ?

Stick to genuine as some pattern items I tried a while back lasted all of 3 months before knocking. The genuine items are expensive but they last sooooo much longer.

Thanks Al, this was kind of what I was expecting to hear, trouble is I decided last year to look for a better Volvo (an R preferably) then break my 850 and use the engine etc to improve the new purchase but as usual it never happened and I still have the same motor !. Just don't know if I can justify spending that much on it this year (but I still need it regardless !). Suppose I could always keep the back axle off it if I find another one !

Just keep the rear beam/arms as you said. It would be an easy option.
