Vs709987 Posted May 14, 2006 Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 Hey everybody, Im am new to the volvo scene and Im not sure if it is common amongst other volvos but I had a question about my steering. I drive a 99 S70, and When i fully lock the wheel to make a U-turn or really sharp turn, there seems to be some type of clicking noise coming from the car (but im not sure where at). But when I start to straighten out it is fine again. Is this normal? or is there something that needs to be fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K33 Posted May 14, 2006 Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 Clicking noise in a tight turn while moving is usually a bad CV joint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K33 Posted May 14, 2006 Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 I'm sure they'll say a bad CV joint and charge a bunch of $$$$$ to fix. Keep us posted on what they find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RZT5 Posted May 14, 2006 Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 get a rebuilt one, and do it yourself. it will be alot cheaper, and its pretty easy, just time consuming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
