240's are not the most quiet vehicles on the road so when I have other noises that my car makes while driving I've become relatively obsessive about eliminating them. Perhaps a silly pursuit to some but to me a valuable one. So that's why I just had to post to the board I've become so amazingly benefitted by that I've eliminated every driving noise but one very small rattle from my beloved 90 245!

Thanks to everyone who has ever contributed to my posts- I have become a relatively good mechanic because I am a member of this fine group. I am poor at being a contributor (never will I be able to match the value of an Art Benstein or rhaire) so I try to contribute monetarily. But in general I am very undeserving of all the benefit I have received from the members of this board. I truly thank God for all of you and I felt so good about the accomplishment that I have gained from being a member of the Brickboard that I just had to post this random praise to everyone who makes this such a wonderful source of help to Volvo owners!

THANK YOU to the Brickboard - I believe that it is a divine group and I hope that I can keep fixing my Volvos until the day that I die!

    Oh, I know you are telling the truth about being a better mechanic from this groups help. The contributions are appreciated by all too.

    I would say this site is as if it was the Cheers the TV show. We know your name.

    We show up as if at the local coffee shop, you buy the coffee but we do not have to look at each other’s morning face and baldheads with ball caps to cover them. (:)

      yeah - Cheers is a good analogy for the brickboard... I'm a character who shows up every 8 weeks. Art Benstein comes in just about every week!

      After replacing two of my lower door hinges (to get the detent spring back)I have some minor rattles - The doors look properly aligned, but need minor adjustment. Also I have a rattle in the steering column, noticeable on rough pavement. I have an '87 240 - if you have any tips, please post or contact me.

        Sounds like you are somewhat obsessed about noises in your ride as well!

        How do you know it's your Steering Column?
