Passenger side lower control arm hydraulic bushing was leaking oil. This is a very low probability repair. Usually control arm bushing rarely fail. This was likely a manufacturing defect early infant mortality. I bought the part at Autohauz and had it shipped to me. Capital V Volvo installed it.

First I took the car to the Dealer. He reported that the CV boot was leaking. He quoted $600 to replace the CV boot. I also got an estimate from two transmission shops. They told me they needed to replace the driver's side axle. Examining the old axle leads me to believe there is no trauma to the axle. The leakage is likely a manufacturing defect. This should have been caught before the warranty period expired. So I bought the Axle for $500.00 and hired one of the shops to replace it. I suspect that the Dealer is motivated NOT to find problems with the car before the warranty period expires because then he has to fix it. The CV boot leakage looked very very old and looked like it had been there for a while. The oil was leaking out the side near the metal band. Again, the shops claimed that a stick or stone hit the CV boot and caused leakage. However, careful detailed examination of the CV boot and metal bands revealed no physical damage at all. I believe that this repair was caused by a manufacturing defect and was missed earlier by the Dealer during the warranty period. Volvo is supposed to cover this kind of defect to the transmission, if found before the warranty period is expired. The warranty just expired last year. However, the leaking oil looked new at the leak near the metal band, but the spilled oil around the old axle looked very old and dried and caked as if it had been there for several years. OEM Driver's Side Axles for this year are only bought from the Dealer and do not usually go out. This is an unusual repair for this age of car.
