Well a friend just asked me to help him shop for rear suspension bushings for his 1990 245. So I go on FCPEuro and look up bushings. Some of the genuine Volvo ones I like to use are listed as discontinued?
For example the 1229714 rear trailing arm bushing genuine Volvo comes up as discontinued on FCPEuro. However, if I go to gcp.se they show the bushing as available and in stock. Are we getting misinformation or just a supply chain shutdown?
I've seen this with a lot of parts. From little stuff like the spark plug wire guides on the engine and now suspension bushings.
Support for old models really seems to be something alien to car makers now. lol.
