Looking for a new Volvo Drive Shaft - Part # 9183941 (1999 V70 AWD XC) V70-XC70 1999

posted by  someone claiming to be Hugh on  Wed Aug 24 16:57 CST 2022 [RELATED]

Hello All,

I hope someone in our community can help me on this quest. I have a 1999 V70 AWD XC Wagon with 230,000 miles. The Volvo is in good shape and belies its age and mileage. I have been advised by my private mechanic of long standing the driveshaft has to be replaced. I hear a "clicking"noise that is intermittent but becoming frequent as I drive down the road.

The part number for this driveshaft is # 9183941. Volvo no longer sells it. When it did, it retailed for over $1,000. I have been advised by my local Volvo dealer parts department, this particular driveshaft was only used by for for 2 years.

My private mechanic has told me that Dorman sells an aftermarket driveshaft made in China, but he would not recommend it because its quality is terrible and is only a $100 cheaper than a Volvo driveshaft (when Volvo sold them). I have made inquiries to my regular vendors, iPd, FCP Euro and eEuro parts to no avail.

I know I can always remove the driveshaft and just drive the car with FWD only, but before I make that choice I want to exhaust my chances of finding a new Volvo driveshaft that might be out there somewhere.

Thanks in advance to all who reply.

Hugh
