not a banner day to own a V90. S90-V90

I just can't seem to catch a break with this car today.

SUSPENSION
I got up early in the morning to have my mechanic look at the variety of knocking and squeaking noises coming from the car's front end. Turns out that all the control-arm-to-subframe bushings are rotted to hell.
1. are there polyurethane replacement bushings available? If so, how much do they cost? where do i get them?
2. How many years back was volvo using these aluminum control arms?
3. Does this replacement require any special tools?

EMISSIONS
My check engine light turned on last night. I got the codes read and it was the dreaded 0410 air pump failure. now i have to figure that whole little mess out. I can turn the car on with the engine cold but I can't feel any air being pulled into the intake hose.
1. How can I test the check valve?
2. where is the relay located?
3. Is this the smae model pump that was used ont he V70s of its day? Because I've learned that car's pump was interchangeable with the one from a VW VR6 engine. And the VW one costs only $90 new.

INTERIOR
As if the two previous bombs weren't eoung already, my wife asked me to go out and pick up some dinner at sonic this evening. I hit the brakes and dumped half a cherry limeade in the passenger side footwell of the car. For about 20 minutes the entire carpet on that side was pink. I went home, ate my dinner grabbed three dollars in quarters and a gallon of water. I took the car to one of those big public vacuums and spent 15 minutes rinsing and vacuuming the carpet. I never thought that a spilled drink would be the easier car problem that I would tackle in my day.
