My 07' XC70 is a little over 100K and I would like to get a ride a bit less floppy. It is probably time for new shocks, struts and rubber pieces. Going with poly-s from IPD is tempting, but from experience with older VOlvos they may also make ride too harsh.
What is the group wisdom?
Shocks/Struts - OEM, or any reasonably priced upgrades, that firm the ride up, but not too harsh on my aged backbone?
Bushings? Which ones are definitely must be replaced? It's winter, so no DIY, will have to have shop do it, or wait till spring (another ~10kmiles).
Also local dealer has 20% off timing belt job. According to the service manual 07' XC70 in the US market can go up to 120Kmiles, not 105Kmiles as the rest of the pack. Should I take advantage of the dealer's offer now?
