gdog Posted April 21, 2021 Report Share Posted April 21, 2021 The Mrs.' S70 GLT has developed an odd vibration noise of late when braking. It only does it just before coming to a complete stop. Got to looking around and noticed outside CV boot on driver's side is blown out and outside boot on passenger is about to go too. Funny thing is I just replaced these both about 50K miles ago with local rebuilds. Didn't seem like the noise was related to the axles, but they needed fixing, so got two new axles and installed them the other day. No surprise, the noise during braking is still there. I inspected the brake pads/rotors while installing the axles and everything looked fine. Had the Mrs. drive the car in parking lot to reproduce the noise while I listened from outside the car (no, I wasn't riding on the hood ala Ray Magliozzi). Isolated the noise to the front center of the car. It was then I noticed the intercooler was just flopping around in there; it was completely loose from its mounts. These damn MI roads do take their toll! So seeing the stock OEM intercooler is over $500, somehow I rationalized going for this instead.. and, of course, we have to go RIP while in there; right?

RobT5M Posted April 22, 2021 Report Share Posted April 22, 2021 Nice. I was going to suggest shims for the rear pads, but looks like you figured it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
