Front end noise 850 1994

posted by  someone claiming to be Paul on  Tue May 15 08:18 CST 2007 [RELATED]

When I start to turn the wheel to the right and the car starts to move, I get a repetitive clunking sound. It isn't the brakes, but it sounds expensive. any ideas?

    It's a clicking sound and the boot is torn.

      The bad news - it's the CV joint
      The good news - this is a pretty easy repair
      fcpgroton has axles for $105 ready to go, new
      boots and all.

      Check out the below link from bay 13
      http://www.volvospeed.com/Repair/FWDbearingHub.php

      while the instructions are for a wheel bearing
      the first steps are the same for the axle, then
      take the axle support mounting bolts out
      and the axle should come out pretty easily.
      Slide the new one in and proceed in the reverse
      order.

      Good luck with it!

    Turn the car to the right under light power
    does it go click, click, click.
    Under heavy acceleration on a right turn
    is the click, click, click louder?
    Does it speed up as the car accelerates?

    This sounds like the symptoms of a failing
    constant velocity joint to me. Jack up the
    car and inspect the boot of the outer CV
    joint on the right side. Still intact?

    Is it a click or a low pitched clunk?
