S 70 GLT: Noise from front left end when turning - bad strut or joint??? S70

posted by  someone claiming to be CAL on  Fri Oct 18 09:31 CST 2002 [RELATED]

I have a VOLVO S70 with approx. 120K on it. The car runs well and I havent had any major issues with it. Lately I have heard a noise from the front end (left) of the car. It is mainly when I start the car in the morning and drive out of my parking lot. When I turn left/right I can hear a scraping sound (sounds like a bad strut). Somebody told me that it can be either the struts or somekind of joint (not sure which one) that is going bad and needs to be replaced.

Any ideas or suggestions on what it might be? Are struts or joints a challenge to replace on this model? If so, what is the easiest way to check it out to determine the root-cause of the problem?

Also, where is a good place on the web to purchase VOLVO parts at a good price?


Thanks in advance,

CAL
