I don't think that the evap leak would give to a misfire on one cylinder only but I might be wrong. I would try to switch coils around (switch the ignition coil from cylinder 2 with another cylinder) and see if the code for misfire will follow the coil or not. You should be able to test this relativ...

Personally I'd fix it, but it sounds like you're ready for something newer/much lower mileage that you mostly just need to worry about keeping the oil changed. Most cars, and Volvo is no exception, become maintenance heavy around/after 100k miles. The issue with these cars, if you consider it an iss...

$750 labor only for that job is very, very expensive. A garage who works on Volvo must be able to do this job in less than 2 hours for both sides. You can even find a video on Youtube with FCP I believe, the video is not continuous, but clearly it's not a 5h job or so. They are ripping you big, big ...

If you have maintained it an S60 with 115k on it has a lot of life left in her, like another 7 years

The sales value of a car is not relevant to its repair cost in the long ownership game.

This one definitely calls for good used parts and Lemforder control arms though

Do you really need to buy a new axle, or can you re-grease it and install a new boot. I'd look into that possibility way before I'd install a cheap aftermarket unit. Unless it was irreversibly damaged, an OE Volvo (GKN) axle should be good for about 150,000-200,000 miles.

(maybe another $100 for a ball joint tool). Autozone has extensive tool loan program. Free as long as you return the tool.

The control arms are mainly different by the quality of bushing used. The front front bushing was made by Lemforder as OEM and I don't believe Beck/Arnley uses Lemforder bushing. I replaced my control arms/bushing x3. Lemforder bushing is strongly recommended. Checking the condition of tie rods is e...

Beck & Arnley is said to have been relabeled over-production of OE parts but the overwhelming consensus now is that they sell an unpredictable hodgepodge of parts from all over the globe. FCP is a good, honorable firm as is eEuroparts as is IPD as is AutohausAZ. Yes, it is a good idea to do asso...

It's impossible to say by looking at a small photo.
If it doesn't pan out look to the sources I listed above. G&K

Lemforder control arms and ball joints are on their way. Found a shop locally who said they'd install those and the CV assembly for ~$450, which seems reasonable. Can anyone tell me if this looks like it's in good enough condition or not? https://www.ebay.com/itm/Volvo-S60-V70-front-RIGHT-CV-AXLE-D...
