Well, the center bearing failed and caused the rubber support to melt away. I'm stranded off exit 17 on the New York State Thruway 87, again. No one locally has the bearing or rubber support. I have to order it overnight. IPD says that there are two possible size bearing kits for this year. FCP says there is only one size kit that they carry. eEuroparts has different sizes as well. The problem is, I'm now 1 1/2 hours away from the car and I can't just measure what it is I have. Does anyone hear know what size driveshaft this year has? This is now the third time this car has stranded me. I never recommend volvos to anyone. Nissan is definately a much better engineered product. The bearing was working fine - no noise, no trouble. Then it seized and cased the rubber to go up in a puff of smoke. I was directly in the middle of a 180 mile trip. I can'e fix the problem myself 'cause the car is stuck in a parking lot. Sometimes, I think I would derive great pleasure just watching this piece of crap fall over a cliff while I pissed on it as it fell. Sorry for the rant and anger, but if you were stuck multiple times in sub-freezing temperatures, you'd know how angry I feel.
