Unless I wrecked one of my cars, I would never buy that package. Besides, Grotons "nuts and bolts" are a piece of garbage. Get OEM nuts and bolts, at least they are the same size, or do like Volvo mechanics do, reuse the bolts that are not damaged.

You need to isolate the noise... If the sway bar endlinks move by grabbing and shaking, get replacements from IPD. Better than OEM.
If the strut mount bushing is worn, get new ones.
The strut can be checked by using an adjustable wrench on the large nut under the hood. If you can turn it counter clockwise with ease, I would replace the strut, seat, and uper mounting. Use OEM or XC90 parts, the XC90 bushings are stronger than XC70.
