Took my C70 into the local Volvo for it's annual state inspection and they 'discovered' that the sway links were "worn".

..."worn" was not the word...the bottomm of the passenger-side sway link fell off of the ball joint when I turned the ratchet a few turns...!

The replacement sway links I purchsed from FCP are significantly heavier in construction than the two I replaced last night...~$25 each... It's an easy fix...jack and secure the car on jac-stands...remove the front wheels...remove the top & bottom nuts and replace with the new sway link and tighten the hardware...reinstall the wheels... All completed in unde an hour at best... for under ~ $50. Volvo quoted $225...!

One note...be careful around the ABS lines to the hubs...
