About Replacement Wheel Arch Parts | Used, Second-Hand Wheel Archess

The Volvo rear wheel arch is the arched metal section which sits above the wheel, arching over it, providing a space in the car body, for the wheel to sit. 

Bolted or fixed with clips to the wing of the car, the Volvo wheel arch arches above and follows the contours of the rear wheel. It's usually covered with a plastic wheel arch lining or moulding. 

The Volvo wheel arch functions to provide a space which houses the wheel, keeping the wheel within the body of the car, which provides a safety element in a crash by eliminating the risk of the wheels spinning off the car and out into the road and any unsuspecting traffic/pedestrians. Also assisting with the overall aerodynamics of the car, the <Model> wheel arch helps to direct the air flow over the vehicle. The rear wheel arch also functions as a protective barrier, helping to stop mud, stones and other debris from the road from hitting the car.

This part is particularly susceptible to corrosion and cracking and you'll eventually need to buy a new one. Serious damage can occur if impacted in a crash and a replacement Volvo wheel arch will need to be fitted.  Wheel arches come in a variety of designs and are specific to car make and model.  When you buy a good quality replacement Volvo wheel arch you can be certain you'll get a part that fits exactly with the make and model of your car.

Volvo trivia

• Volvo is a Latin word that means 'I spin,' although some later translations change the meaning slightly to 'I roll.'
• Volvo is one of the oldest companies in the world to be trading on the Stock Exchange. They have been trading consistently since 1935. The majority of car manufacturers didn't even exist when the Stock Exchange opened.
• Volvo is Swedish and was founded in 1924 by two brothers who designed and built the ÖV 4 because they realised that other cars couldn't cope with Sweden's harsh weather. The car was given the name 'Jakob' and had both a 1.9-litre four-cylinder engine and a three-speed manual gearbox.
• There's a theatre in Ireland where the patrons all sit in seats from the Volvo S80 luxury saloon. A local Volvo dealer saw the seats being used at the launch of the S80 and asked Volvo if he could have some for his local theatre.
• During the 1950s, Volvo was doing so well that they started offering five-years worth of insurance with every car sale. It wasn't a long-lived campaign.
