Interesting. If I use the longer one, should I re--use that rubber part, or just put in as-is?

Thank you! Do you by any chance have a link to where I can buy the shorter axle bolts that are appropriate for my car?

So on the hub assembly bolts, I ordered from the link you sent. What they sent looks different than what I pulled out. Same length, but threads go all the way to the head, and more importantly (though it may not matter) the head is a couple mm bigger on the new ones. http://i63.tinypic.com/9tkd42 ...

Now I've run into a problem. Yay.

Ordered the axle bolts/drivetrain bolts/SEMS screw (whatever you call it...depends on where you look!). Should be no. 4, pictured here: https://usparts.volvocars.com/a/Volvo_2004_XC90-25l-5-cylinder-Turbo/_50018_5703757/Front-wheel-suspension/GR-371951.html ...

Excellent. Thanks for the input. It's front, by the way... should have specified.

Knocking out wheel bearing this weekend and looking for a little input:

1. Replacement looks pretty straightforward but any pitfalls or tricks I should know of?

2. What other problems or issues should I look for while I am at it, and how would I diagnose them?

I don't notice anything other than ...

Mileage is over 170 and I'm willing to bet it's never had a PCV service. I'm trying the easy stuff first and probably need to tackle that too. The manifold looks like it's a pain to pull off.

Got an issue with my 2004 XC90 I was hoping the community might have some insight on.

About a week ago we were on a roadtrip, and I get a "Reduced Engine Performance" message. The car slowly started losing power. I pulled over, turned the car off and back on and it was fine.

Coming back from the ...

Yep! All good. Sorry for taking so long to follow up.
