A worn out spring seat can do that. To check it, take a very large wrench and turn the bolt on top of the strut tower clockwise. If it turns easily, the spring seat needs to be replaced.

You will also need an alignment, but do that after you replace the struts and spring seats.

BTW, if you get new spring seats, get a pair for an XC90 - OEM, they fit and last forever.
