Hi Will,

"Good score on the V70! Lucky you."
Yes, I feel lucky. A long story short, I fixed and prolonged the life of my friend's 245. I refused any sort of payment so they gave me their V70. The V70 was in a bad shape. They are not handy so it would cost them a fortune to fix it.

They couldn't let go of their 245, I felt bad so I helped fixing it. They still have a long way to go but I did what I can to cut their future bill significantly.

"Why are you changing the struts?"
The car has 140,000 miles. The ride is harsh, it's noticeable when it hits a large bump. The lower control arm are in bad shape, especially the passenger side, took hot engine oil beating.

The Sachs on my 240 last only up to 70,000-80,000 miles. I am on my third set. They are also getting harsh.
