First crickets noise...now airplane landing noise. H E L P !!! 200




Ive owned many volvos, this one is having a problem now.
First off I was a little rough with her a couple days ago
going about 90 mph on flat land. Drove great! Then she sat
for a day. I started her up this morning and was going to
my friends place. I could hear very high pitched squeek,
sounding like a bad vacuume leak or a bad bearing. I checked
all the belts and bearings but still had the loud screetch from
25-50 mph. Got to my friends and let the car sit for a couple
hours and decided to come back to my home town. The car ran like
before screetching between 25-50 mph. As i was going back to drop
my friend of the car started to growl when slowing down like rubber
rubbing agenst the frame. No smell of burning rubber, Sounds like the
whining is coming from the transmission shifter and the rear end.
The tranny fluid is a little burnt but isnt low. What could be the prob?

driveshaft support bearing; the driveshaft is 2 pieces-where they are joined theres a bearing inside a rubber support, it needs to be pressed on and off the shaft so i would have a mechanic do it, it sounds too damaged to be re greased, if you do any of this yourself, the relationship between all of the driveshaft components have to be maintained so the need to be marked with paint or chalk or something even the flanges of the transmission and differential the transmission needs to be supported with a jack and piece of wood also, its easy to get off, the 2 peices just slide into one another (splined) the bearing is 3 inches or so wide, i wouldn't recomend doing it yourself, but make sure the mechanic knows what hes doing
