Changed fuel filter. The wife the other day mentioned that she thought she was recently getting worst gas mileage. I kinda blew her off and just blamed it on here frequent trip done the street to Cogo's on a cold engine. Well yesterday i go to investigate a wheel bearing hum and while looking under ...

Did you also heat up the wheel bearing ? i was only "trying" to heat up the hub and then squirting water inside the axle bolt hole. But after more failed attempts and knowing spare parts were around the corner, it was gloves off and i torched the whole darn thing. The grease boiled out of...

Ya, the wifes XC90 just developed a wheel bearing noise. Havent narrowed it down to front or rear yet but i'll probably just buy the knuckle/hub and axle again before i even start

Got that tone ring changed today lol. Yesterday I made another attempt at it since im driving to gulf coast this weekend. I had a new propane torch, one if the 500,000 btu ones that shoots a 3" round flame 5ft :D So I warmed it up again. Axle still wouldn't budge. Checked local salvage yard to ...

I drew up a hud tool yesterday to cut on the plasma table. It will bolt down with lugs, and has a 1" bolt in center to press axle out than i can hammer on. Its made to fit 5x100 up to 5x115 bolt patterns

Tried changing the ABS ring on front right axle yesterday. Couldn't get the shaft out of the hub. Splines seized solid. I just had it out easily a couple years ago too when i changed bevel gear

Replaced the Front rotors on my 04 XC70 this weekends. Rotors and pads up front, pretty straight forward typical brake job. Calipers and hoses in decent shape, cleaned up the pad slide are, regreased the caliper slider pins, installed rotors, slowly compressed pistons, installed pads and put it all ...

TerryJr - this gets the post of the Month award for crappy parts awareness That is terrifying for a new part. This will get cross-posted to the P80 and P2 Fora Haha thanks. Just swapped on MOOG arms and it feels safe again. Needs an alignment and new tires but I could see the bushing quality was ni...

this thing has been such a pain, and now my xc70 is gettin issues. 06' XC90: -AWD only works when its freezing outside, and usually only works for a few miles. Will work again after an ignition restart. -the obvious swerving issue -CD player makes god awful noises every time you start it for about 3...

Got these new, yes new, control arms on Rockauto to try and solve a swerving issue i had on wifes XC90. Did both sides. The swerving was not fixed, stumped i started looking into other things and today decided to just put a camera under there and here what i saw. I'll be buyin a new set of Meyle HD'...
