I took my 98 V70 to the dealer for an inspection, result was 2 pages!! I filed it with the car papers, and said thank you. Nothing of great importance on the list, just a very good note about what to expect.

One of the items was a PS rack leak. Well, it turned out to be a weep, which went away on its own. They did mention a broken front engine mount, but I did that also.

Struts are fairly easy to do, given a spring compressor, jack stand, and a floor jack. It took me 2 hours to do one side, and 1 hour to do the other. Rear shocks are simple, just a floor jack. Shops around here charge about $1000 to do struts.
