Sounds like it could be tie rods, to cover all bases, did you ever jack it up and do the 12 and 6:00 push/pull test on the tire to check the ball joints? (Lemforder is OE for ball joints but sure TRW’s are fine too.) With the number of miles on your car it could be either one. In my experience, outer tie rod ends don’t even last that long. On Volvos they seem to go at about 100-150k miles. The inner tie rods and ball joints typically last longer.
It is recommended to replace both sides if it is either tie rods or ball joints. Good idea to replace the rack boots if doing any of the tie rods. They inevitably split…
