Balljoints?

They tend to fail at 90-120K miles.

That being said, I flush my brake fluid/coolant every 2 years, transmission every 30k miles, change the oil/filter every 7,500 and every 2 years it gets a clean...

People are pretty pleased with the Nokian WRG2, I put Goodyear Assurance ComfoTred on our 2004 but it's our 3rd car.

So, there might be an easier solution.

The Mag-Lite shown is the re-chargeable type, and the flashlight mount includes that mount and the band around the light is the charging contact.

35-36 is fine but you have to drive 25 miles after adding pressure to reset this TPM system.

OK, let's check Hoonk's idea.

Gents,

The US market XC70 with AWD have the 3.0 T6 engine, not the new super/turbo 4 cylinder engines.
Too my knowledge they do not have electric steering.

Get a Phillips Osram replacement, take out the old one and put the new one in.
