After market parts
Has anyone had any experience using aftermarket axles and suspension parts. I have searched "Brand Reviews" forum and the 850 forum but have not found any info. Been searching the web to find prices for an 1996 850 wagon I just purchased. Prices for parts are all over the place. Anyone have any input on this suspension kit for only $134.99? Thank you for your time. M

For suspension parts with rubber components, I tend to stick with OEM. I did control arms on my 850 only to have the bushing fail at 60K miles. That said, suppliers like EEUROPARTS and FCPEURO offer a range of suppliers - bigger name brands may actually be the actual OEM supplier - so don't assume you need to buy a volvo boxed item. For example, Lemforder is the OEM for many of the suspension parts, Meyle offers "heavy duty" parts as a good value, Sachs/Boge are the OEM strut vendor etc.

Cool thanks I think those remanufactuered ones on FPCEURO are from USA Axle. Good to hear from someone who has used them. So keep an eye on the boots . The ones on this car are completely torn.
