Axle noise when backing up and turning

Post by vwvolvo »

Anyone can tell me if it is normal to hear a slight '' tock '' when backing up and turning at the same time for a 2002 V70 XC. It's a very light noise and seems to coming from axles, mostly in the back.

Thanks

Are all four tires the same brand and size? With AWD autos it's important for this to be so, otherwise the complex AWD bevel gears turn at different speeds and wear.

I don't know what audible symptoms are exibited when this wear happens, so please don't get worried that your car is afflicted by this problem. :)
