Car is 98 S70 T5.

Hey guys, new here, and thanks in advance for helping me.

I'm not very knowledgeable with cars, but just bought a beatiful 98 S70 T5 with only 57k miles. I absolutely love it. Here are a few questions that I have and I truly truly appreciate any help you can give me:

1 - Rattling coming from left rear: Mechanic says it is the shocks/stuts... wants to replace them... Do I have to replace the whole thing or is there a part that I can buy from eEuropeparts.com that can fix it..? And if not, where's the best place to by the shock or strut..

2 - Do I have to replace ALL of them, or can I just replace the left rear?

3 - What tires do you all reccommend..? I have to replace all 4 of them... There's a discount tires sore close to where I live...

4 - There appears to be a leak at the turbo unit.... any suggestions? The mehanic says he just needs to take it apparts and install a few minor parts...hose or gasket or something..

Thanks again a million in advance!


Hans
