Struts V70-XC70 98

Does anyone know if leaking struts are covered under the VIP factory backed warranty?

    Struts (actually shocks/springs on Volvos) are a "wear and

    tear" item which is not covered unless they are less than

    10 or 12k miles old. I had all 4 of my shocks go on

    my 1998 V70 after 2 years. I replaced the front with

    Boge and the rear with KB.

    Another thing to watch out for on the 70s is the sway

    bar linkages. They are notorious for going after about

    a year or so. They are not cheap ($80 each) but are

    easy to replace -- about a 15 minute repair.
