:) My front are all done! And, I just got new brake lines in front too! So, fingers crossed, I'm all done! I go back to the dealer tomorrow (they didn't have the parts). It was my second time going back (someone forgot to order the shims.) So, they have offered me a free 12 point inspection, which i...

Oops, you are correct! I apologize. I did not go far enough back in the comment section to see who and what was suggested. gswede did give me a link though, that described what he thought was happening.

So, a special kudos to sleddriver!

LOL, so true! I have watched so many YouTube videos on this subject, I almost feel like an expert now. If I could figure out how to lift my car up safely, I would certainly give it a try.

Thanks, BEJinFbk. I wish I could find a good local mechanic that knows Volvos in and out. I mentioned in my earlier posts that I have been to 2 different local mechanics/shops, of which the second one, 4 mechanics drove and looked over my car for over an hour to no avail. The first shop is called Eu...

Okay, I just got back from the dealer. And the winner is.............. gswede! He was spot on. But kudos to all the others who helped and gave valuable info. Everyone was on the right track. :) YES, it was the rear shims! I swear, we all (me and the past mechanics) thought it was in the front. And, ...

abscate - Good to know! Adding to the list. Again, thank you very much!

Thanks gswede! Shims are at the top of my list. Honestly, after all the research I have done, I'm pretty sure it's the shims. And again, we haven't checked the back brakes thoroughly, so I suspect it's the shims in the back. The back rotors look good and the pads have about 30-40 percent left in the...

Thank you 850 LPT! I will add this to the list.

Thank you gswede & abscate! abscate - Thank you for the kind words. :) I have been to two local mechanics - one that specializes in foreign cars and another where the mechanic has worked on foreign cars for 20 years. Yesterday, there were 3 mechanics working on my car. They drove it several time...

Well, I'm a female and I got it all wrong. Took it to local mechanic today. It's not the front brakes. They don't know what it is. All they could diagnose was that it is actually a VERY loud vibration coming from the front of the car. They checked the axels, wheel bearings, struts, shocks and engine...
