Re: S80 Front Wheel Bearing and Driveshaft Replacement 1999

I agree it's the left or driver side bearing. Also if the noise is less or goes away when making a left turn, it's another sing that it's the left bearing.

Not sure on the 01 but a volvo tech told me if I ever got another S80 to get it 01 an up. So something must be better.

Re: S80 Front Wheel Bearing and Driveshaft Replacement 1999 -

I'm placing my order and found pretty good deals on ebay. Now, where I'm confused is the axle shafts, it seems a lot of volvos share the same, is that the case with the S80 T6? What other model volvo axles fit?

Re: 99 S80 T6 Another Tranny gone Bad

They should be reported to problem solvers or something. My car needs the ETM wish is a recall repair, but in order to do that they said that the car needed the breather box replaced 600.00. They are so full of it.

Re: Seafoam Trans Tune

I used GM type IV, it's a gm tranny after all. I think I will do another filter and fluid change, I was kinda freaked out at how dirty the pan was when I did it. Maybe it need a second one.
