    Are the FCP Groton bushings (rear suspension 89 Volvo 245) of
    sufficient quality to be considered as replacements? Whole set of ten
    is $77 or so. [Rubber, not urethane.] I'd hate to do all the work of
    installing them and then have someone tell me to use better
    replacement parts.
    They have the best pictures and descriptions of the parts, but do they
    have a quality part's replacement? http://www.fcpgroton.com/volvo240rearsuspension.htm
    Thanks, in advance, for your advice.

    Here's my experience, I bought bushing from both places, have nothing
    against IPD, but prefer FCP Groton just because there was a lot of
    personal service given to me. I deal with Nick Bauer.

    I did buy a bushing kit for my 1987 740 GLE from IPD. Cost like $140.
    Later I compared to FCP, called IPD and told them I was very upset
    their prices were so high for bushings. They offered me a $60 credit
    on my next purchase. I never used it yet, but if I buy this 85 240 I'm
    looking at, I may buy some things from IPD and most from FCP.

    Also check out eeuroparts.com. If possible, get Boge bushings.
