Noice in rear end V70-XC70

posted by  someone claiming to be Pt on  Fri Sep 15 18:15 CST 2023 [RELATED]

Xc70 with 150 miles 2011
Doing turns at low speed there is a noice that is happening more often from the rear end. I have a appointment in 5 days with a Volvo shop. Just wondering what it could be. The rear end was replaced @130 miles. The struts are probably original. The brakes are working like they should. Something is definitely wrong. Any lead are welcome

      Hi PT,

      Did they check for torn drive axle boots?
      If one is torn there will likely be a ring of grease around it underneath.

      Try again and hope Murphy is somewhere else this time.

    Hi,

    It may be the linings broke loose from the E-brake shoes.

    See if your e-brake works.

      Thx Bill
      Emergency brake works ok. The noise is more of a banging that goes away when you are driving straight. Thinking maybe a broken strut. Is there a universal joint in the rear end?

        Hi Pt,

        Is your car AWD?
        If so, look at the boots of the rear drive axles,
        see if any boots have ruptured and thrown the grease out.
        CV joints will fail quickly with no grease.
