Get the wheel bearings, tie rods and calipers for now. The rest of it is not safety critical, but if you neglect the wheel bearings, your wheel may fall completely off! I don’t know how sturdy Volvo’s tie-rods are, I’ve been driving for 60,000 miles on some shot tie-rods on a 1985 F150, but just the same I want to replace those. I also had wheel bearings go out on this vehicle, it ate front tires alive and absolutely slaughtered brake parts. Glad I got those fixed. Learn how to DIY, as well, you’ll save a ton of money on repairs. Cars aren’t as hard to work on as they look.
