Parts check
Going to be doing the shocks and struts on the wife's 01 XC70 and am about ready to buy the parts. Here is my list, I would be grateful if anyone can sanity check it and see if I left out anything.
Front struts (of course)
Front strut mounts
Front spring seats
Rear shocks (another of course)
Rear shock mounts
Rear spring seats
I replaced the sway bar end links about 12,000 miles ago and they are good.
Thanks,
Glenn

Ouch, how did it go? One other question, are there any funky tools I will need to get before I do the front and rear shocks/struts? I have a the tools to do struts on most cars, but I need to know if the XC70 has anything out of the ordinary (weird size sockets, star bits, etc....
Thanks,
Glenn

There is a wierd star shaped lock nut on the struts that you will need to remove. IPD make a special tool to get it off but I've also seen a homemade tool made by grinding teeth into a socket
