2008 Volvo S60 4dr Sedan

turbocharged 257hp 2.4L I5 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD

80500 mi

US $595
Car lost all power steering during a gentle u turn at 5 mph. Verdict was a torn power steering pump/hose. New part required. About 3 months later steering is still a lil sluggish and squeaks when car is not moving fast. 
85000 mi Car became quite bumpy and making a clunk sound over even light bumps. Mechanic thinks car would require work on either or all of bushings, control arms, and sway bar links. Estimated cost of $1200. He recommends trade into dealer.

2008 Volvo S60 4dr Sedan

turbocharged 208hp 2.5L I5 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD

20000 mi Thumping noise, right rear, when cresting a hill at ~40 mph (suspension unloads, then reloads). Dealer checked, heard the sound. Said they re-torqued suspension fasteners. This appears to have solved the problem.
