Original Lemforder (not the ones with a rear Febi bush) or Powerflex

Anything else will last a decent 6 months, from the heavy duty ones, to the life warranty others

I don't know about all P2 Volvo variations but I know that Lemforder did not make the genuine Volvo control arms for my car.

Most certainly they sold a chinese brand in original box. Looks like not a rare situation there https://www.trustpilot.com/review/www.autodoc.co.uk
