How to remove and refit the ball joint and control arm on Volvo S80?

To remove the control arm, first loosen the appropriate front wheel bolts, chock the rear wheels, apply the handbrake, jack up the front of the vehicle, and support it on axle stands. Remove the roadwheel, then release the screws and take off the engine undershield. Next, undo the nut securing the balljoint shank to the control arm using a Torx bit to counterhold the nut, then lever the arm downwards over the end of the balljoint shank. If necessary, undo the two bolts and remove the balljoint from the base of the hub carrier; if it is difficult to remove, use a slide hammer attached to the balljoint shank. For the left-hand control arm, undo the two inner mounting bolts, withdraw them, and remove the arm from the vehicle, noting that new bolts will be required for refitting. For the right-hand control arm, raise the engine approximately 25 mm, pull the plastic cover on top of the engine straight up, undo the bolts securing the engine cross stay to the brackets on the suspension turrets, and position a workshop jack under the engine sump with a block of wood to protect the casing. Then, undo the bolts securing the right-hand engine mounting to the cylinder block and the bolts/nuts securing the front engine tie-rod and rear mounting pad to the subframe. Use the jack to raise the engine approximately 25 mm to access the control arm inner bolts, undo them, and maneuver the arm from the vehicle, noting that new bolts will be required. For the overhaul, clean the control arm and the area around the mountings, inspect for cracks, damage, or distortion, and check the inner pivot bushes for signs of swelling or deterioration. If either bush requires renewal, it should be entrusted to a Volvo dealer or specialist, as a hydraulic press and suitable spacers are needed for removal and refitting, along with a setting gauge for accurate positioning. For refitting, locate the arm in its mountings, fit the new mounting bolts and nuts, and tighten them to the specified torque. If the balljoint was removed, refit it to the hub carrier and tighten the new retaining bolts to the specified torque. Engage the balljoint shank in the control arm, tighten the new nut to the specified torque, followed by the specified angle, and complete the refitting as a reversal of the removal process.

Volvo S80 Control Arm

Volvo S80 Control Arm provides the front wheels of the car with a flexible but firm connection to the car body, which allows it to overcome obstacles and stay on course. It is dependent on rubber bushings on the chassis and a ball joint on the knuckle, whereby the wheel is free to move up and down but does not slide forward or backward. All Volvo vehicles use this lever to transfer the loads of springs, shocks, sway bars and even torsion bars into the stronger body. The early models of the first generation S80 were made of stamped steel which was hard but prone to rust, whereas subsequent models were made of cast iron or a lighter cast aluminum that could not be corroded and saved on weight. Even though materials vary, both styles are triangular or straight-profile, mount the bushing to the frame, and mount a ball joint on the hub to lock the steering angles. When a curb hit causes the Control Arm to bend or the bushings to tear apart, installing a complete part will straighten the Control Arm and eliminate uneven wear on the tires. The Control Arm cylindrically directs vertical movement as opposed to the two-axis direction of a wishbone; hence designers combine it with an additional radius rod or sway link to prevent forward movement. With such a simple design, Volvo drivers are provided with a comfortable ride quality, consistent wheel alignment and stable steering even in the city potholes and during dips on the highway. Comprehensively, the component remains robust and Volvo owners only require servicing when heavy impact or intense rust affect safety and comfort.

OEM parts are the only choice for top quality and real functionality. They pass strict checks, and they match Volvo's factory specs, so installation is easy. If you need new Control Arm and you want quality and fit. You will find both here. Our site has a wide range of OEM Volvo S80 parts. The prices are unbeatable, allowing you to get value for money.

Q: How to remove and refit the ball joint and control arm on Volvo S80?
A:
To remove the control arm, first loosen the appropriate front wheel bolts, chock the rear wheels, apply the handbrake, jack up the front of the vehicle, and support it on axle stands. Remove the roadwheel, then release the screws and take off the engine undershield. Next, undo the nut securing the balljoint shank to the control arm using a Torx bit to counterhold the nut, then lever the arm downwards over the end of the balljoint shank. If necessary, undo the two bolts and remove the balljoint from the base of the hub carrier; if it is difficult to remove, use a slide hammer attached to the balljoint shank. For the left-hand control arm, undo the two inner mounting bolts, withdraw them, and remove the arm from the vehicle, noting that new bolts will be required for refitting. For the right-hand control arm, raise the engine approximately 25 mm, pull the plastic cover on top of the engine straight up, undo the bolts securing the engine cross stay to the brackets on the suspension turrets, and position a workshop jack under the engine sump with a block of wood to protect the casing.
