Believe it or not --that's the noise that your half shaft will make when its on it's way out -- it's happened twice to me

Thanks tjts1---- I'll check it out

I have looked for replacement rear axel's in all the usual Volvo part sites
( Groton , PDI etc. ) except for the dealer ( $$$$$ )
This is a Canadian Car with AWD, 5 speed, turbo -- maybe its that unusual
Thanks for any help

Thank You Ozark Lee
Job is done-- it took about 1hr.
Hint to others--- remove the electrical clips before removing the fan housing
it is a tight fit but it will come out and go back without removing anything else
GREAT SITE --- Thanks again

Hi everyone, new member as of today
I have a Canadian model 97 850 turbo AWD wagon with 240K km ( 145K +- mi )
I love this car and expect to have it for some time if I take care of it.
I consider myself pretty handy but this has me stumped.
The details on the Vadis cd are vague about changing out ...
