2004 XC70

Post by turbotim2 »

I just bought an 04 XC70 after retiring my 96 850. Can anyone recommend a good repair manual? I have had haynes before and as we all know, they can be sketchy in places to say the least but do offer some help.

Also, I am hearing a rattle in the front suspension when I hit bumps. I am taking back to the dealer where I got it while it is still under some warranty but wanted to get some ideas if there is a common cause. Thanks.

There is no manual, you need to get a hold of a good Vadis disk from 2004
Without posting the mileage we can't say what's up with your front end, but it could be a broken spring seat, a broken sway bar link or a bad control arm bushing

How can I get ahold of one of those?

Sorry, its got 81k on it. Sounds like all of the same culprits that the 850 was known for. Thanks!

It turns out it was all four sway bar links.
