Hey,

So my car has been vibrating at or above speeds of 45 MPH, it is most noticeable after 60 MPH.

I was hoping that replacing the transmission engine mount would make a difference but I don't think it did.

This vibration comes only from the left front wheel under load/acceleration. It happens with and with out cruise control.

I think it is the worst when accelerating between 60-75 MPH or travelling at those speeds.

I don't think it is the wheel since it doesn't vibrate when coasting. I am not sure what else to check although I will rotate the wheels next weekend, front to back.

Also it seems to vibrate worse when the car is loaded.

I imagine this is probably some bushing issue? I don't think it's serious, but it annoys the shit out of me. Where do I start looking?

So my alternator died today and I made it 12 miles on battery only.
I can report that the car runs strong all the way up to 9.5 volts and then the ABS lights come on.

The car finally died somewhere between 8-8.5 volts while I was sitting on my street waiting for my mom to move the other car out of the driveway.

Needless to say I'm pretty impressed.

Now to go find an alternator...

It was 90+ degrees here today.

Update:

So only eEuroparts seems to have it for about $230ish. I will probably call waltrip tomorrow but I doubt it will be much cheaper.

Here is a question though, my boss at work who's been a Volvo guy for a looong time said that if I have the Bosch alternator that I can just change the brush packs. It looks like I do have the Bosch alternator according to eEuroparts has anyone else ever heard of this and if so where can I get the brush packs?

And can someone pull the part number off vadis for me please? 2001 S60 2.4t.

I just wanted to confirm that the S60 does indeed take either Dextron III or Dextron IV as power steering fluid.

In reference to an old thread it was stated that the S80 T6 uses Dextron III or IV but I just wanted to double check.

Can some one confirm or deny this please?

Also is there a big difference between the two fluids?

I'm looking for a black gameboy DS lite. Anyone have one?

I have a shit ton of HDDs at work I have to sell and other computer parts.

Just though I'd post this up here in case you guys needed some.

Prices are pretty negotiable...

If you need other random computer parts like gfx cards, fans, floppy drives... I have a lot.

Feel free to make a request.
