I see your post was made 11/19/12, and no body responded. Just saw it now. if the problem still exists it sounds like the top spring mount is worn, common on higher mileage V70's, parts are available, not sure what the cost to replace. I'm going to have to do mine soon, as a DIY project. I get clunking over bumps or dips in the road. I will probably find other "loose" stuff under there when I look at all the suspension and steering parts. You may want to do a complete inspection too see what else may need replacing and have it all done at once. Ggod luck
