We have a 98 S70 with 120k, before it, a 93 850 with nearly 300k.
Question 2. I was happy with NAPA's Monroe SensaTracks for the last 100k on the 850 & am happy with them on the S70 for the past 50k.
Question 4. I think the ride & handling will improve so much, just getting new suspension & steering parts replaced, that stock parts will be an upgrade!
I just did the S70; new upper strut mounts, spring seats, sawy bar links, and lower control arms (w/all bushings & ball joints incuded). All for less than $200.00 from Foriegn Car Parts,(FCP Groton) on eBay. They are aftermarket (not Volve OEM) but I have had very good experience with their parts over the years. They also sell OEM parts, ship fast and and are there to answer questions. This was not meant to be a commercial for anyone, just wanted to make you aware of economical solutions for your repairs.
