I own a 1982 245. I have it for a few weeks now.
I notice a tickling noise comming from the rear. I thought of wheel bearings or diff bearing since it seems to come from the middle (not left or right)
I can only hear it when driving slow (up to approx. 30 kph) and it's not very loud but audible. Also, the sound doesn't change when taking corners and start when driving really slowly (walking speed). Also, the sound doesn't change when braking or accellerating.

I contacted the owner before the previous owner who looked after the car well. (the owner I bought it from had it only for a few months and harly drove it)
The man I contacted had lots of bills of tech and body repairs in the maintenance-history.
He said that he also experienced this noise and had it examined by a garage.
He verdict was (he said) that it's a common noise for such a volvo and nothing to worry about.

Could that be true?

This is my first 245 so I don't know..
thanks
