Our 07 V70 is our daily driver. With 125,000 miles and with brand new front struts we thought we were cleared for fun summer driving. But then there was a new clunking sound upon acceleration at slow speeds.

After a second follow up at the independent Volvo shop, the word was that the axle splines are clunking and that a TSB covers it under "ping". I guess Volvo might not want to include clunking in their TSB index.

And the guys were candid enough to say that the gluing of the splines, per the TSB, was a fix which lasted about a week or several thousand miles. Both had been ineffective. So the real fix is replacement of the front axles left and right. And the cost is more that 2 BOAT (Break Out Another Thousand) units but less that 3 BOAT units.

So my question is how long should I live with the clunking before I bite the bullet? I mean should I live with a little axle ping; how much can it hurt?
