I am having a vibration trouble with my V70. When my wife drives it to work (25 miles @ 75mph) when she leaves highway she gets a vibration at lower speeds, and the same on the way home. when i drive it (only short distances) i cant get it to do it. could it be heat related? tires? tires are 4 month old snows. The stealership found a bad tie rod end and did an alignment last week but something is still up. yesterday i jacked up the right side and there was play in the 3 to 9 oclock direction and a slight clunck that seemed to come from the center of the car behind the engine. when i jack the left side there is no noise and less movement. i have also noticed that when turning full lock to the left and press the gas there is a clicking, axle shaft?? there is no noise to the right. if i need an axle should i replace both? can the axle shaft cause the vibration after being warmed up?? thanks, bobd

Your description is very good. I would venture to say that the constant velocity joint on the left axle is starting to go. Just change the left side drive shaft. On the right side, the inner tie rod could be worn out and is located centrally under the car. The dealership could have changed the wrong tie rod on the right. Shop around for a rebuilt axle, an aftermaket inner tie rod, installation and wheel alignment, package price. And of course a second opinion.
