This video shows you how to install new control arms in your 2001-2007 Volvo V70. Control arms are a crucial part of the suspension system of your vehicle. They not only carry the load of the vehicle to the wheel, but they typically also maintain its alignment. Control arms are typically large and strong, so you may be surprised it needs replacing. They contain rubber bushings for smoother rides at the cost of eventual wear. When those bushings run out, that can have a negative impact on the ride and safety of your vehicle.

This process should be similar on the following vehicles:
2001 Volvo V70
2002 Volvo V70
2003 Volvo V70
2004 Volvo V70
2005 Volvo V70
2006 Volvo V70
2007 Volvo V70

Tools you will need:
• 21mm wrench
• 3/8 Inch Air Impact Gun

at 6:17 it looks like the cv joint is out of place; is that part of procedure?

[mzz]

Only the left side that doesnt help... On heynes book stood that on the right aide you have to loose the engine and lift it up otherwise you cannot loose the bolts... Is that correct??? Please add some information to this

Very similar to BMW. Getting those bushes turned and getting bolts started is challenging and shouldn't be done gung ho. You will destroy threads

Hi. By what you determine that lower control arm needs to be replaced?

[jamesmagana]

My two 18mm headed bolts are stuck! What would you recommend?

You need to learn how to use a torque wrench apart of that not bad son.
