Control arms and steering stops for Volvo C70, S70, and V70
24.04.2026
The first-generation Volvo C70 has a steering angle limiter on the control arm in the form of a riveted plastic plate. This is also the case for the C70 and S70 models up to 2000, which are supposed to have the same chassis, but only for one control arm variant. There were two versions of the control arm, which differed in terms of the inner rubber bearings and their mounting.
These steering stops are subject to a certain amount of wear during normal driving. If they break at some point, they should be replaced. Otherwise, the wheels could rub in the wheel arch.
However, the steering stops are different on the otherwise identical control arms in the C70 and S70/V70. In the C70, the steering angle is limited noticeably earlier with a thicker steering stop. This was probably because the coupe was mainly delivered with wider wheels. For this reason, the vehicle manufacturer also assigned different spare part numbers.
The correct steering stops are clearly recognizable: on the S70 and V70, they are white with the standard tires, while on the C70 they are always blue. The control arms with the correct stops for the C70 are no longer available anywhere in the aftermarket. We can now offer the control arms with the correct steering stops exclusively for the C70.
We have had a sufficient quantity of the matching steering stops manufactured. The white and blue steering stops are manufactured exactly according to the original design and also correspond to it in terms of material. The blue steering stop can of course also be used in the S70 and V70 with wider tires. This requires the matching Volvo 8628497 and 8628498 control arms in the corresponding vehicle.
When we checked control arms from various manufacturers for the C70, we noticed the different material thicknesses under the contact surface of the steering stops. Most control arms are too thick at this point for the original recommended rivet 975577, which would not hold sufficiently or would not pull at all. So we have put together a matching set of blind rivets 1109262 in various lengths. This set always fits.
The two steering stop variants are now available under the numbers 1101392 and 1101403 in our shop, and the matching rivet set under 1109639. The wishbones can be found under the numbers 1047923 (left), 1047924 (right).
