Rear shock absorber/noise........ S40-V40 2000

posted by  someone claiming to be Bill S. on  Wed Jul 17 13:49 CST 2002 [RELATED]

Hi! My '00 S40 just turned 52k and now I am getting an annoying squeaking/creaking noise constantly from my drivers side rear shock. It always starts after I have driven the car for about a mile.....its is most pronounced at speeds about 20-25, windows up, on even fairly smooth roads. I know its the shock because I can shut off the car and have someone push up & down on the left rear fender and I can hear the sound coming from the strut...and the other side is quiet!!!! I have been told by a dealer that this means the shock is starting to go! This is ok, if thats what it is, but with all our other Volvos over the years, I have put far more milage on than 50k!!!! Is it the shock???? Any thoughts, thanks, Bill S. Otherwise the car is fantastic!!!!
