Swaybar link, spring seat.....
Those are the most likely culprits. Especially with 122k.

Definately sounds like a sway bar linkage. Easy to look at yourself and see. Jack up the car and turn the wheel one way.

Go to Sears and pay $120 for a the 1.5 ton aluminum jack that works extremely well. Then go to Napa or Autozone and pay $20 for two jack stands. You can obtain a piece of wood from a park or something for wheel stops for the rear wheels. Old brake rotors work well too. It is common for cars to sit a nudge lower on one side unless it seems extreme. Check your tire pressure also.

Dude, you've got an XC90 and an S60. Money problems? Just have your parents pay for it. If it's a sway bar link, it shouldn't cost more than $100.

In fact spend the extra greens and buy some QBM ones and suffer a nice performance increase.

1) TOO bad...
2) It is their car, so let them worry about it
3) Just buy a 850 T5 for yourself and be happy that the car IS YOURS!!!
