This is a new car to me, 2008 xc70 and brakes were high on the list. The symptoms were vibrations at higher speeds, say above 80. In hindsight they were a bit inconsistent, sometimes mild, sometimes more severe... today I tackled the front brakes and surprisingly I found the caliber bracket bolts to be hand tightened at best. I was getting psyched to overcome the 200lb and found almost nothing. The brakes were serviced by a Volvo dealer 40 thousand km ago. Volvo disks and pads. Initially I got mad thinking that some dumbass forgot to tighten them properly but both sides seem a bit improbable. Not impossible just improbable.
I think the vibrations and the heat loosened the bolts. Even with the thread locker that comes standard with the Volvo bolts (genuine disks come with bracket bolts). So I would recommend checking these bolts. Not sure about hen v70 but the Xc has enough clearance to do this increase the ground.
Good luck.
