Please read 2nd post. I did more research and figured out what is needed.. Just want to make sure I'm not missing anything that I should probably purchase.

Bilstein Front Strut Touring Class x2
Front Upper Spring Seat XC90 (OES) x2
Front Strut Bump Stop x2
Front Strut Dust Boot Bellows Cover x2
Front Strut Lower Bolt x4
Front Strut Lower Nut x4

Total is about $450.00

This is my shopping cart. A couple other replacement parts were added, but i thought the price wasn't terrible.. Waiting on confirmation before ordering.

Bearing plate mount, use BOGE.
Front strut top Washer, star nut, bump stop washer. Use Volvo.
Control arm, inner and outer tie rods. Use TRW.
End links. Use Lemforder.

It is close to a $1k, if done with 100,000 miles outlook.
Look for holiday sale.

Yeah, realized I removed that.. I have been checking pricing between IPD and FCP to see about best deal, and making sure I'm not sacrificing quality. The rest looks good though?

Take time, use proper tools, no short cuts.
Order very item, compare old with new before installing. Return if unused.

Replace every nut and bolt without hesitation.
