Front Suspension knock...
Ok, my son inherited the 98 v70 na. a month or so ago, he told me wheel vibrates and makes noise. I replaced the driver's side CV axle as it was screaming. while apart, I found a worn out ball joint so replaced the lower wishbone/ball joint assy too and had it aligned. Last week big noise when turning left. I though the cheap axle I went with was already failing but when taking the thing apart, the hub bearing fell apart in pieces. I replaced the hub bearing and all is well except there remains a knocking noise from the front left when going over speed bumps or potholes etc. The strut top mount appears good so I am thinking perhaps the strut cartridge itself. It is the original at 187k miles but don't wish to just do an expensive parts swap and still have the issue. Your thoughts?
