Instructions for Replacing the Link

Model: Volvo Xc90 MK 1 - Years 2002-2014
Part: Control arm

Damage to the spherical joints of the links results in a noise that resembles a thumping sound, especially when driving on rough terrain; the link connects the stabilizer bar to the support bracket on the shock absorber: to replace it, you must lift the vehicle on a lift, remove the front wheel, and loosen the fastening nuts (hold the spherical joint axis with a hex wrench while loosening the nut); once the old link is removed, install the new one in the same manner: for a more effective result, it is recommended to replace both.

This way, you can check that the oil mark is between the minimum and maximum levels; finally, you can place the dipstick back in its tube.
