They were KYB shocks, I'm guessing from average milage but I'd say about 27-30,000 miles done in them.
Daily abuse on a bumpy lane, and then regular road miles |

It is getting noisier, and can now be heard inside. It does make it a little easier to diagnose though as it now does it when pushing down on the bonnet.
I got my wife to see if she could locate t ... |

All of a sudden the OSF suspension has become squeaky when going over bumps. Spring and shock were replaced about 2 years ago and have done about 20,000 miles since.

The press arrived, quite a quick straight forward job to replace.
Only issue I had is that the middle of the bearing pushed out (you can't drive it out on the outer race edge due to the lip) so I ... |

Made a start today. Drifted the hub out and removed the inner race from the hub, so that is ready to refit.
Decided to order a 12t press, to push the rest out of the knuckle.
Cleaned up the bac ... |

I had the common issue with the steering column error on the dash and the car refusing to start.
I eventually got it going by hitting the Volvo unit under the steering wheel with a spanner.
