Hi I think I did read that the xc70 have different length shocks to the v70/s60,
I have just changed my front shocks/struts with koni sports adjustable,
my car has done 84,000miles, the original shocks had no oil leaks but when I drilled in to them no gas came out, and on a push down test they only just moved up very slowly, when I fitted front subframe poly inserts I could feel the road more, but after fitting the konis the drive is now very smooth but very firm, as these are sport shocks, and not as much roll, but I do have lowered springs, and the car chassis is fitted with ultra racing braces all round, I also read a lot have changed there shocks at this mileage,
With the wishbone/lower control arms, you only need to change if the bushes are gone, or wish to fit poly bushes as a up grade, like I am going to one day,
Dave
