Someone help,
I have a P2 V70 2001. Had the car for six months, and am most pleased with it.
But was really is starting to nip my head is a squeaking and knocking sound coming from the front nearside of the car.
It happens when going over bumps for example drain covers. I put the car to Arnold Crap who said, that'll be you're wishbone sir, £400 please". Got them changed, but it still knocked. Took it back to Arnold Crap again "ah that's your anti roll bar links £70 a side".
I changed the links myself £30 from Partco. But guess what?? The knocking and squeak is still there. I had changed the engine top mount to a poly bush after reading that this could be a possible cause, but still the knocking and squeak remain.
I have looked and checked but can't see or find anything obvious. Could it be that I really should be using Volvo drop links?? So it's over to you. Any help or guidance will be most welcome.
