Get a large pair of pliars, open the hood, and try turning the large nut above the shock on the passenger side. Clockwise, please. If you can feel it wanting to spring back, that is good. If the nut and strut turn easily, then it is time to replace the spring seat for the strut. I suggest replacing it with one made for the XC90, it will last much longer.

It is probably time for new struts anyway. DIY requires a strut spring compressor as the only special tool. The compressor is also needed to replace the spring seat. An alignment afterwards.
