- IPD links failed in 13 months or 16,000km / 10,000 miles after installation.
Poor quality!
Replaced with front to TRW JTS536 and Rear to Lemforder 35430 01
Original video of IPD links installation:
• IPD Stabilizer Links R...
Lemforder have made a lot of OE parts for Volvo, specifically ballpoints and can last 10+ years, so I was pleased to see you had some Lemforder parts in your box.
I have the exact same rear links on my car right now
You are right. The original links were made by Lemförder in a German city with the same name. I saw their mark in the video Yuri made when replacing the original parts with IPD. The mark is a triangle around an stylised owl. Most likely you will only notice the triangle with some kind of filling. Lemförder is part of the ZF company as well as TRW. So, maybe those marked TRW are identical.
Thanx for the heads up. Now I know what NOT to buy other than Meyle.
The best rear links for the P3 are Polestar S60 rear links with an elevate sway bar to match the bigger diameter top
Hi! When you posted your video i already had purchased the same links that you had. I they only lasted for 3 month! Really bad!! Now i have to order original with discount to be sure they last!!! Great videos by the way! Have a nice Christmas!
Thanks so much for the update on these!
Quick tip in torquing down Volvo P3 suspension if not on the ground
Raise suspension(with jack) until center of wheel hub is 381mm to the top of fender well, then torque to spec
That is the resting position Volvo P3 and keeps all bushings from tearing prematurely over time as its always under load and not
in resting ride height
Thx for the info.
Is top of fender well looking from outside the car straight on or inside up under the well? Thanks
Replaced mine with Whiteline heavy duty sway bar links, adjustable( gold colour) absolutely brilliant and look amazing, wouldn’t use any other rubbish.
This is interesting, I replaced mine around the same time you uploaded your IPD video, and I trusted them because you used them, but unfortunately they didn't last a year, and now I will have to replace them.
For reference, I reside in a hot humid city in Saudi Arabia.
Just did the rear trailing arms bushings from Lemforder, excellent quality
You have part numbers?
Every time i add part numbers they disappear
never go wrong with TRE and Lemförder
Why not go for the Moog with the grease fittings, I've been running these for the past 2 years and they still perform.
Front : MOOG-K750158
Back: MOOG-K750398
Thx for your feedback. Had bad experience with moot control arms for my ex Suzuki SX4
@@volvosweden Were they the same grade and greasable? Any ungreasable part is bound to fail sooner or later. I did have one part fail prematurely (I have 12 Moog greasable parts on two cars, so 8% failure rate is not bad), and they were really responsive and easy to deal with. Anyways I hope these new part will be better than IPD!
Thanks for sharing you experience!
I also used lemforder at the end and needed to change them every year
That's weird I have used Lemforder for years and NO issues with links or any other part whatsoever.
I guess I do not live in Arctic/ salty parts of the world.
I use (MEYLE) products, they have a 4-year warranty 6 years and over 140k and they still last and I paid 30 euros each
Hi, same here. Use meyle and 0 problems
Did you clal ipd and see if they would send a set anyway? They will usually send a out of warranty set out especially after this video....I have had 3 sets on 3 of my R's. I have only had 1 go bad and replaced within 2 weeks.
I should call them
For higher profit, some companies replaced rubber boots with plastic ones, which in our winter won't survive. Once ripped, the joint is junk! Stay away from blue boots!
Wish IPD see this video
I can send it to them😀
You definitely should do that! This is non-quality for sure.
👍
Hi how are the lemforder drop links performing after fitting them 6 months ago ? Thank you
Thank you for this update. I was about to buy their subframe poly inserts but since there isn't a lifetime warranty on their products I will try the Proparts from FCP. Have you done any subframe poly inserts in any of your Volvos? Do you know if it's worth it?
So yes IDP junk... Next time get MOOG , there are great and they have grease ports. The rods are also thinker, both front and rear.
Lemförder is in a different league compared to TRW. The latter one is playing the lower end of the ZF product / price portfolio.
Interesting
Hi. Is the rear axel adjustebl with negative camber? I have 2007 S80 D5 AWD and the rear wheels have negative camber. Is that even possible to fix? Thanks ahead.
Both your L&R rear trailing arms bushings are shot.
Replace with Lemforder, they are excellent quality and well priced.
The job is painful in every way!
Common fault on P3 and fail around 60-70k miles, even earlier in hostile salty conditions
The rear wheels with not be able to align and cause this.
There is also upper rear control arm which offsets the lower rear control arm.
With negative camber check the top control arm and ensure the bushings aren't crushed
If so it will compound the problem
Thanks @@AnthonyS80-V8 can you give me the part nr please.
Hi @@priitpaarson9080 seems like the bots delete part No and fcp links!
All Volvos from around 1990 have adjustable rear suspension. Recommend a 4 wheel alignment to check its correct
Great episode, is there a reason why you didn’t get Volvo OEM parts.
400$ for all four. Trying to save I guess
You know things aren't good here in Canada when VolvoSweden buys aftermarket. I mean, he once bought a Volvo weather strip to stop water leaks.
This all sounds very familiar. When I had to change the front ones on my P1 V70 as one had failed the MOT I took Rob's advice. His story is the same of yours.
