I have a rumble in the front end of my AWD V70 with 105,000 miles on it. It only is noticeable on HARD TURNS AT LOW SPEED such as when turning into a driveway especially if the driveway is uphill. The rumble is the same type you experience when approaching a toll booth to alert you to slow down. It happen on BOTH RIGHT AND LEFT turns.

My Volvo Dealer said it was worn bearings on my front wheel drive shafts. $900 to replace them as the bearings are part of the shafts.
I went to another Volvo independent repair shop for a 2nd. opinion. Thay said the same thing. I had them replace the bearings/shafts on both sides for $800. The rumble was less noticable but still there. Now three months have passed and the rumble is worse than ever.

Highway crusing is smooth as glass. Straight line driving at slow speeds is very smooth too.

Any ideas?
Walt
