Worth doing both as you need a toe in setting after a tie rod end, which costs more than the end!

If the boots and clips are in good shape leave them alone

Strange as we replaced just the RH outer about 18 months ago as well. We did not touch the left and so far so good. 2006 XC70.

Here in Canada the Volvo radiator lists at $670... one-third of that I could stomach. Just under $300: https://www.tascap...
