For Sale: 2000 Laser Blue V70R SAVED!Denver $2300

Hi folks...I realize this isn’t the classifieds section but that area is dead quiet. this is just a feeler to see what I could get for this. The intent is to sell the car as a whole. Obviously, I was rear ended at a stoplight and will have a salvage title. Story of the car is that I bought it as a b...

Re: High speed vibration...any chance its the diff?

Could be...the (brand new rebuilt) prop shaft was making contact with the exhaust. Only for a few days before I maneuverered the exhaust pipe. It looks like I scraped some paint but nothing huge.

Could that really be causing the vibration?

High speed vibration...any chance its the diff?

Hi folks...I recently re-installed a new(ish) angle gear and rebuilt driveshaft on my 2000 v70r. The AWD system works great except for a high speed vibration. I've got new wheels with 65.1mm hub's, new tires, balanced and everything. I have new brakes (rotors/pads) within the last 9 months. The vibr...

C70 Propus hub sizes Question

Hi folks...I can’t find a confirmation on this so I figured I’d ask the experts.

Volvo Propus wheels...are they all 65.1 center bore / hub size? Including the 2001-04 models?

Just trying to confirm if any Propus / Propus C’s came in the ford hub size (63.4).

Thanks in advance.

Anyone have a DIY for removing rear diff?

Got my hands on an almost new rear diff for a 2000 V70r and I’d like to see if I can tackle the job.

Thanks folks.

Re: Question re: 2000 V70r differential

See that’s the problem, the Volvo parts site is a mess. I get the same part # when I search a 98 and a 2000 v70r.

And yes it would make sense that the rear diff might be different with different transmissions.

Question re: 2000 V70r differential

Is the rear diff for a 2000 V70r interchangeable with any other model? Or is it unique as hell like every other powertrain element?

Thanks in advance

Re: Speaker mounting options

Fitting aftermarket speakers in the original spots...it seems the mount is completely attached to the original speakers.

Re: V70 AWD Ride height

I replaced my R nivomats (green) and to be honest?...they feel almost the same as the 195k mile nivo’s. I replaced to front Sachs as well, as well as the control arms, sway bar end links, and all shock components...and it’s still a stiff ride and you feel every pebble. ...I can’t imagine what this c...
