Hi all,
I just brought my car in for a slight steering wheel vibration between 50 and 60 mph. The dealer stated that the U joints were wore as well as the Center Bearing needed to be replaced. Also, the trans mount was a little worn so I had that replace as well. He indicated that the engine mount were fine. So when I started the car I noticed it idled very quietly and smooth. As I drove the car home it vibrated at around 40 mph and the noise was deafening. Its the kind of noise you can't take to long. Almost like your sunroof is open and your cruising at 80mhp with the windows up and you get that wind NOISE. Anyway, it seemed to level out below 40 mph as well as above 40 mph. I also noticed when the car is in park and I idle up to 2 RPM I feel the same vibrate/noise. I'm bringing the car back tomorrow. Any ideas? Did something not get done correctly? I would like to point him in the right direction. My car rides very smooth normally.

One more thing is the cost:

Trans Mount $73.00
install mountg $55.00
U-joints all 3. $133.00
Center Bearing $155.00
Install U-joints and Center Bearing $165

Total $580.00

Is this price reasonable?

FYI This is an independent Volvo tech.

Thanks everyone.
