Does it rumble worse when accelerating heavily? If so, suspect the CV joints.

Replaced the original Volvo bearing at 45,000 miles, so that means either Volvo parts are low-quality or they did a poor installation . When I bought the car I read on this and other forums that the wheel bearings on the S60 are a weak point. I don't know if that's true but it certainly has been the case for me.
