Re: 07 XC70, are headlight lenses available? If not, can I remove for resealing?

Here's the Amazon link. I stupidly paid more locally, didn't realize Amazon was much cheaper. This is the only kit I have experience with, I'm sure there's comparable ones.

Re: 07 XC70, are headlight lenses available? If not, can I remove for resealing?

If the opening is large enough slip a small piece of Mr. Clean Magic Eraser inside and use a flexible pickup tool to clean the lens using soaping water. I don't believe the soapy water will hurt the reflectors. The eraser breaks up fairly easily so easier to remove. You don't or need to push hard t...

Re: Bad idea to purchase used, low mileage control arms?

... love that WillowGreen Unless someone says otherwise, the LCA replacement will require wheel alignment afterward. That said, front suspension refresh is best for motorist safety. All front suspension parts in your 2007 XC70 are beyond the limit. I collect OE/OEM parts for few months and then do ...

Afternoon. I'm working on my new '07 XC70, before it gets ridiculously cold in the frozen tundra here. I'm picking up some nice used body parts from local Volvo recycler, he has some control arms with only 32,000 miles. I'm rebuilding the front suspension and steering, I've never purchased used fron...
