1998 Volvo XC making noises! Help! V70-XC70 1988

I have a 98 Volvo V70XC with 78K miles. I have begun to hear two strange noises:

1. On bumpy roads, a metallic rattle from front passenger side. In the area of the wheel.

2. When doing a u-turn (or other turns that put extra stress on all-wheel drive system), I hear a grumbling noise and can kind of feel it in the seat of my pants. This happens on dry pavement and wet pavement.

Any ideas? I assume #1 is the shock and #2 could be viscous coupling maintenance (or replacement?…yikes!!). Someone even suggested the grumbling noise is “normal” on an AWD car.

Otherwise this Volvo has been a wonderful car. I bought it used one year after my wife and I bought a used 98 S70. So we have a white S70 and a white V70...how retarded is that? Just goes to show how much we like ‘em I guess.

Thanks in advance. -Jas.
