Hello folks, looking for a bit of advice - ill try to explain as succinctly as possible without going on forever!
Car:
2001 V70 T5 (p2). 152k miles.
Problem:
An occasional LOUD noise from the suspension - sometimes it sounds like its something under stress being released, sometimes just a big old clunk. Can happen when articulating the suspension, i.e. over a speed bump, rough surface, or change in road surface.
Angle of steering makes no difference as far as I can tell. Best guess says coming from left side, but not 100% sure.
Diagnosis thus far:
Had car on ramps at my local garage. Not a Volvo specialist but works on them often enough (5 of them for sale on his forecourt). Its definitely NOT the ARB droplinks, we ordered these in thinking they would be the problem but they arent :S
Nothing else on the front suspension looks to be amiss, all tight and in serviceable condition.
Apparently top mounts were replaced by previous owner 2yrs / 10k miles ago but I have no proof.
Any ideas?....... Something, obviously, is not quite right - yet nothing appears wrong when under the car.
:S
Ta!
