Tired of replacing the tires every 10 to 20000 mls because of the excessive rear camber issues with my wife's 2008 C70. It just eats the insides of the tire tread in no time. This last set of Coopers were scalloped on the inside and making noise at only 5000 mls. Tried to get her to sell and she said no so next option is replacing the upper control arms to adjustable one's. Anyone have any suggestions on quality aftermarket control arms.

 

What are the camber measurements? Volvo has updated arms to change the camber.

 

I'm out of town till next Tuesday. When I get home I can get you the measurements from the last alignment which was done when I replaced the tires a few months back. Are the updated Volvo arms a fix to the camber problems? In other words does Volvo admit they have a problem with these vehicles? Done some research and found quite a few aftermarket control arms but don't want junk parts on the car. Still like my wife and would like to keep her around awhile longer.

 

The arms will make the camber 0.7 degrees more positive.

 

Thanks ES6T for the help. Wife sent me the readout from the alignment shop and it shows the rear camber on left side at -1.9 / right rear -2.1 of that any help. Do you have a part number for the control arms?

 

31201356 is the part number.

 

Thanks for the P/N for the longer arms. Is there a particular reason Volvo offers the longer arms?

 

To make the camber 0.7 degrees less negative if needed.

 

ES6T thanks for your help on this.
