My virtually flawless (minus a tranny update and rubber stripping falling off) 2004 XC70's warranty is going to be expired in 1,000 miles. I have an oil change appt right before 50k, and was looking for a more complete list of what to check as far as common XC problems.

I tried the search, but I get a lot of pre-2004 problems, such as motor mounts and engine fan problems.

Here is the list I compiled. I'm not that car savvy so some may be one item (i.e control arms and sway bars???)

BEVEL GEAR (are bevel gears on Haldex?)
TIE RODS
SWAY BARS
CONTROL ARMS
DRIVESHAFT BOOT
PROPELLER SHAFT JOINTS
WHEEL BEARINGS
TURBO OIL LEAK
SHOCK MOUNTS

Thanks.

You might ask the dealer to take a good look for things. I did this with my Saab dealer just before the warranty ended on my 9-5. They found several things that weren't common issues and I hadn't noticed. It's easy money for the dealer and a great way to build customer satisfaction.
