01 V70 T5 strut replacement, what do I need?

Folks, My 01 V70 T5 has almost 40K on it now and I have noticed a dull thump when I go over bumps from the front passenger side. I think the strut is used up. It used to squeak alot from the strut tower bushing (?) at the top so I sprayed some silicone grease up there and the squeak went away. I know I need some spring compressors, floor jack, struts, and top bushings to do this job myself. Do I need any other parts? Where's a good source for these, IPD or Grotons? I estimate around $400 to 500 for the struts and bushings? Any tricks to doing this job yourself? Thanks, Chris in CA
