I have heard stories of inferior/cheap bottom arms not lasting long so i would be careful with cheap deals, im sure someone on here will recommend a decent aftermarket name if you dont want to pay for genuine parts, I would be interested myself as i need an O/S arm and i dont want to be paying out for genuine Volvo ones

Scantech (Parts for Volvo) have been known to need replacing again in a few month time, i'd send Rufe a message & buy genuine Volvo ones

I have a spare drivers side bottom arm that came off a 2.4 1999 V70 in excellent condition Im pretty sure they are the same fitting on the 850. Its a genuine volvo arm. Either of you are welcome to it if thats the one you need for the cost of postage.

My arms came from Rufe - but I think they do struggle with the power and the IPD ARB - so whatever you get, I would replace the bushes with something durable. Not that I have found anything durable yet (PowerFlex can't manage it either) :(

Scootch has PM'd me about it but if he's not interested just the cost of postage. It was off a Petrol 2.4. Dont know exactly how much it will be but should be under a tenner. Ill let you know if Scootch isnt interested.
