2011 C30 Rdesign Manual Left from wobble

Hey everyone,

Perhaps you can give me some help.

Have a 2011 Volvo C30 RDESIGN 6spd. I have a vibration, and wobble, and clicking on stop starts or turning. When i turn its just one click , nothing continuous. At speeds over 90kph, I get a wobble from the front left. Also under acceleration it feels like the something isn't correct in the front left. I would describe it as vibration or engine missing.

I have replaced both axles as i had a tear in the right boot, so replace both sides. 

I have put IPD stabilizer end links on . 

Checked balance of front left wheel as well.

Sometime when I am braking from speeds of 90kph plus, i get vibration through wheel, like a warped rotor. But other times its fine. Doesn't happen at lower speeds at all. 

Car idles great, smooth, great gas mileage, no knocks for contact sounds from engine bay. 

At a loss on what next. Could strut mount bushings and bearings be creating this issue?

Anything suggestions that would help , would be most appreciated.

 

Thank you

Gary

I would replace the strut mounts and bearings (struts too if you go that far). Have you checked the control arms and ball joints? On a side note, my Porsche Carrera had a clicking noise on one side when I would take off from a standstill. Turns out the strut was loose internally and the shaft was moving.
