If your car's handling has degraded, or you are noticing it bounces more over bumps, or you have noticed a leak on the shock, you may need to replace your shocks. Be sure to check all the components of the suspension for excessive play and replace as necessary so you only have to do the job once.

Common Failure Symptoms:

• Noise from front end over bumps
• Abnormal tire wear
• Vehicle wandering while driving
• Poor Steering response
• Poor Handling
• Harsh ride
• Tightness in steering wheel when turning

The original parts used by Volvo to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine Volvo” brand. Manufactured under the direction of Volvo, expect excellent quality and a premium price since these parts are exclusively available through the Volvo Dealership network. You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your Volvo are not necessarily manufactured by Volvo. No cause for concern, as Volvo designs the part, hires a manufacturer and ensures its quality to you, including a lifetime warranty.

In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for Volvo for decades and are experts in their own right. In our industry these manufacturers are called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers) or OES (Original Equipment Suppliers), and are often brands you recognize including Bosch, KYB, NGK and Sachs. Don’t be surprised to open that Genuine Volvo parts box and find a NGK branded part inside.

If you are looking to buy Genuine Volvo Parts online then you’ve come to the right place. FCP Euro offers both types of product – Genuine Volvo and OEM/OES - from brands we trust to use on our own cars.
