No I wasn't, 99s and 2000 share though right? Erie's got a 2000, I PM'd you Ed just let me know what year.

Thanks erik!

A 2000 V70R is not the same as a 99 V70R as the 00 has a 5 speed auto, 99 has a 4 speed auto.

It may be the same as a 99/00 V70XC though or an AWD as I believe they used the same trans (4 speed auto).

No worries thanks for trying Ed.

That’s really good to know erik I will ask Erie.

Appreciate all the help will be really nice to have this over with so I can enjoy the car again. Always more to do but this is the last of the “major” issues for now.

Looks like Erie sold the one they had.

I found a RF axle from a 99 XC70. Will that work on my 99 v70 R?

So.. who is doing the blue box rebuilds? I doubt those are coming across the pond from Europe.

My local dealer actually had this in stock I am picking up Monday AM and will ask the parts staff if they have any idea.

Got a better price than I thought I would

Like 460 some after I return the core on RF under my employer’s account.

I think that’s just list, but given the convenience I’m not complaining as long as it works at this point.
