actually, Marvin is correct.
I remember when i had it first set, on a 3d (dual camera) machine, i had access to system computer and it was showing how to adjust camber on these 2 bolts on shock#

100% sure of this thing

so.. temporary plan of action (that is- to be changed to suit the needs):
possibly soon change both these balljoints, observe car behaviour afterwards- maybe ill get away without traction, maybe not

if i do need traction after this, it will be around £50 at general garage 3 miles from home or around £70 at volvo independent 10 minutes walk from home

then summer- if i still feel like it- change shocks, arms, droplinks, whatnot
estimated cost of parts £400 (plus spring compressors)
i feel confident that i can do it all myself
after that- same machine, 3D traction on 4 wheels for around £20.. maybe £25(inflation)
third year in a row turning up for the same thing.. they`ll look at me like i`m crazy

explanation:
2017- inner steering joints replaced, traction after
2018- CV joint replaced, traction after
2019... i`m coooominnnggg!!
