Re: Vida CEM swapping

Re: Help chasing pulsing groaning sound

Solved! Despite the problems happening on right turns, after replacing driverside lca, bearings x2, and all tie rods and end links, I started looking for a new angle gear but replaced the passenger side front wheel bearing—and it drives like new again!

Re: Help chasing pulsing groaning sound

First time I’ve heard of this: three and a half hopefully easy questions:

(1 & 1.5) I take it there’s no way to find out if this is indeed the issue without opening the transmission—is that correct? Similarly, replacing and shimming the new bearing requires installation from the j side as opposed ...

Re: Help chasing pulsing groaning sound


When I get noises that aren't obvious enough to pinpoint i turn the radio up. It always gets worse in the end.


Agreed, but as I’ve aged, I’ve begun to worry about the type of stuff I never did as a youth; ie catastrophic auto failure and so my search isn’t for perfection, but rather what ...

Re: Help chasing pulsing groaning sound

I should know better than to think my car is immune from common problems (after all my original block cracked after chasing false leads for weeks)— but angle gear sleeve seems to be less of a problem in late model p2s, and at least the inboard splines on the look great.

Howdy,

I have a 2007 V70R with 180K miles, and have an issue where the car makes a pulsing, wub-wub-wub sound when there is any load on the driverside of the car (roads banked downwards to the left, or even the slightest right turn of the steering wheel). I can feel a vibration under the driver's ...
