Front end suspension V70-XC70 2001


>a problem not uncommon to the Volvo...is this true?

Yes.

> The car seems to need a major repair like this every year

Not good.

> Am I being unreasonable in thinking this is a bit much?

No.

I did about the same job 2 yrs ago at 7yrs/80K - front geometry was not "alignable" otherwise and was eating tyres. It made some financial sense back then. If the trade-in value is below 5K then I definitely wouldn't bother and go for a new car.
