I've done some of this stuff:
Brake hoses; these can be awful to remove where they attch to the strut, be careful if you decide to use a torch , the line will explode if brake fluid is in it (just cut it, since you have new).
Ball joints (moaned on this board a week ago on this), get a good tool for this, but since you have to remove the strut any way should be easier........
DOT 4 fluid definately ( I think that's what Volvo calls for).
There is an inner tie rod end also (it's part of the tie rod so you have to buy the tie rod itself) check this (the tie rods are expensive).
When replacing the tie rod ends, count the turns as you remmove, put back the new the same number (this assumes you have the same brand that is on their now, different brands have different overall lengths, then the turn on trick will not work and you'll have to guess based onthe difference, probably should get an alignment to be sure.
Parking brake shoes last a long time, and are a pain to replace, shades of the days of workiog on drum brake shoes, very frustrating with all the springs and such. May want to check them first.
Probably better insurance to replace the cable..........
Sounds like you got some good prices..........
