Key Features

• Direct compatibility: Fits a range of Volvo models and certain Ford models, reducing the risk of fitment issues during installation.
• Pre-greased assembly: Arrives lubricated to extend component lifespan and ensure smooth initial movement without immediate maintenance.
• Steel construction: Provides the strength and durability expected for suspension components under typical road conditions.
• OE interchange numbers: Includes RK620598, CMS70162, 521-159 and 1470387 to simplify matching with existing parts and service references.

Who It's For

This control arm is best for DIY mechanics and independent shops replacing the front left lower control arm on compatible 2006-2013 Volvo models and certain 2007-2009 Ford Focus Europa variants where the vehicle does not use a level sensor. It is especially appropriate for owners who want a part with documented interchange numbers and a warranty for peace of mind.

Those who should look elsewhere include owners of vehicles that require a level sensor on the control arm or drivers needing a complete suspension overhaul with matched multi-part kits; for those cases, OEM-specific assemblies or dealer-supplied modules may be more appropriate.
