Re: Difference between V70 and XC70 suspension

New shocks, springs and mounts would probably be more expensive. The shocks have a 3 month warranty on them. I looked at the rear of my car after a drive on the highway, it will raise the rear about 2 inches once I'm stopped. 40 minutes later, the wheel is back tucked in the fender. Ride is very rou...

Re: Difference between V70 and XC70 suspension

Excellent news! Does anything else should be changed along with the shocks? Bushings etc...

Difference between V70 and XC70 suspension

Hi, my 1998 V70 AWD rear end is very low (can't see the top of the tires) and every bump on the road feels like I'm hitting the bump stops. I looked under the car last night and could see some oil on the rear control arms, right under where the shocks are (Nivomats). So my diagnosis is blown Nivomat...

Re: Weird steering and braking problem

I stopped to see my mechanic and he looked at my car today, it turns out to be a bad control arm busing on the driver side and a tie rod end on the passenger side. He said that a subframe bushing is shot and priced a new control arm for 300 CAN$ . I find this expensive, should I look for a replaceme...

Weird steering and braking problem

Hi all, I looked all over the internet for a similar problem but couldn't find one. Here is my problem, my steering wheel is off center, it sits at about 1 o'clock. The car tracks down the road straight with the wheel at 1 o'clock (hands on or off the steering wheel, it's not pulling), here is the w...

Yet another door lock question

Hi guys, my door lock has been acting funny. Yesterday when I tried to unlock my doors with the key fob (wouldn't work from the inside either), only 2 doors unlocked (rear driver door and passenger door). I unlocked by reaching from the rear driver door. A few hours later my driver door was working ...

V70 AWD vibrating when downshifting

Hi everyone, I'm new to Volvo. I need help with this problem. Whenever I accelerate at highway speed and the transmission downshifts, I feel a split second vibration throughout the car, like running on a speed bump (the type of speed bumps where they cut narrow lines into the pavement, not the actua...
