Re: Separating CV axle joints to replace boot (passenger side FWD S60)

Bump. Unlike videos I've seen, the inner joint doesn't just fall or slide out. On the axle I have there are lips that prevent the bearing wheels from simply sliding out all the way. It would seem these lips need to be ground down with a file or grinder unless there is some other way to get this asse...

Separating CV axle joints to replace boot (passenger side FWD S60)

I've ordered replacement OEM boot kits that should arrive this weekend and I just started to disassemble the axle to remove existing grease and begin the cleaning process. I started with the inner joint thinking this would be the easy side to start, I encountered small lips that prevent the 3 balls ...

Re: Genuine Volvo ATF is NOT Mobil 3309...

I'm about to drain and fill my transmission. Transmission shifts beautifully and the fluid looks healthy red. It may or may not have been changed before--not sure the service history--just got it and it has 84,000 miles now. What is the verdict? 12 quarts of Mobil 3309 was what I was about to order ...

Re: Difference in struts between 2002 and 2009

If this is the case, does anyone know if the AWD struts and shocks will fit in FWD vehicles?

Re: Who do you recommend for remanufactured or aftermarket CV axles?

I picked up right and left OE axles from a junk yard two days ago. Although I only needed the right side, it was better deal to buy the pair and the left side has zero play. The right has a tiny amount of play but a lot better than my current one. I'm considering refreshing the grease and replacing ...

Re: Who do you recommend for remanufactured or aftermarket CV axles?

To clarify, I emailed Raxles back staying if this is a current availability issue, I may be able to wait until some OEM axles come in to reman.. They said they pretty much don't do Volvo period.

Re: Who do you recommend for remanufactured or aftermarket CV axles?

I emailed Raxles for a quote and they replied they do not have for my vehicle. RockAuto has Cardone Select. Are these any good?

Who do you recommend for remanufactured or aftermarket CV axles?

One of my '09 S60's axles needs to be replaced and I'm looking to do this myself. Besides Volvo, what company makes good quality stuff and that you recommend?
