Clean the threads and Loctite them.

I can't remember the exact threadlock that I used but it was a Loctite product that was tolerant of oil. Don't use stud or bearing fit.

This has kept mine quiet since I got the car a year ago.

The XC90 bolts are used to stop the axle ping noise, Eg when you change direction forward then reverse, also if they come loose

They have a rubber cone with washers bonded to it. Here's some photos.

18's wearing 235/40 tyres will rub on extreme lock, it is why there is an extra plate on the inside of the wheel arch.

If the noise is only on full lock, it's just rubbing, all P2s do it.
