my apologies, I got called away for work.
I ordered a set of subframe mounts and a pair of (original) wishbones. I replaced all the engine mounts about a month ago which made a huge difference. The engine came up about 15mm after replacing the 2 main ones. and the passenger side was rubbing on the subframe.
It seems logical that all other rubbers are in the same condition.
I fully agree with replacing in pairs, I normally do, and intended to, but I ran into the tire wear before I got to the other side.
When I do the wishbones I will pull off both struts and compare them. If anything looks off I will replace both with Volvo parts.
2 degrees of camber seems like it's way too much, you clearly see it when you look along the wheels from the back. The top of the tire was over a cm out.
I filed out the top hole of the 2 holes in the lower end of the strut, the one that is intended for the camber adjustment.
As for the roundabouts, we have very few and the XC is the family car, mostly driven gently by my wife.
Thank you both, I'll report back after the new rubbers.
