Re: 2006 XC70 axle frozen solid...is the car scrap?

I don't think it matters what kind of loctitie is on it. I was taking baseball swings with a 10lb sledge. I bent the retaining screw. its not budging. But, I guess to be positive, I totalled the retaining screw, but I don't think I need it.

Yeah? An axle is not too hard to do? I read one thing said you have to pull out the transmission? Any links to axle replacement?

2006 XC70 axle frozen solid...is the car scrap?

I am posting this out of frustration and not really expecting any answers. I pounded the crap out of this thing for an hour. Its not moving. So is it huge to change out the whole entire axle? The transmission has to come out? I just spent 3k on the car and tried to do the bearing myself. I actually ...

Happy holidays everyone..got an early x-max gift and a surprise

Howdy all..hope you are all doing well. I finally shelled out the 1000$ and got the AOC pump replaced by Volvo. I didn't trust the Dorman and Volvo guarantee's it for life! Love the traction. Anyways, I was quite surprised tonight when I went outside and tried to unlock the car with the remote. I ha...

Has anyone put 6x9 speakers in the back door 2006 XC70?

So I figure its going to be way too complicated to mess around with amps and wires. I am 75% happy with the stereo now. Just could use a bit more oomph. Has anyone ever tried to put 6x9 speakers in the back door? I don't mind a bit of drilling and cutting the panel. I am just wondering if there is r...

Can I use my HU-650 with new amp and speakers?

Hi there, so I have read so many confusing threads regarding stereo upgrades. I don't want to get too complicated. Is it worth just changing just the 4 speakers? I used to install stereo's in my old beaters all the time. A 4 channel amp with 4 new speakers is something I can do myself. But, I want t...
