I have always felt that my wife's XC70 had poor braking. We bought the car 4 Years ago. It stops, but just not as good as I would like. This became more obvious when i picked up a 04 V70 which stops on a dime.

Today I replaced both the inner and outer Tie rod ends, and took a look at the pads while I was down there. I am surprised by how little wear the front pads have. They have to be a few yrs old, but look new. When i replaced the pads a few years ago i remember that the calipers looked good and had no issues moving the pistons back into the housing.

What about the proportioning Valve? Any way to test?
