I just had the passenger side break- so they do go. So both sides replaced.
Thanks guys! Yeah I guess it would have been better to call this thread "can't remove the Friggin' oil plug!!!!!!!" ;)
So I just thought I'd try the seafoam as so many people seem to have found...
Well- big drag today.. Finally got a bit of time to change the oil and wouldn't you know it the drain bolt is SO stuck that even with a very long breaker bar I couldn't get it off. Seems like the...
SO happy to say the problem is solved! The sound did seem to come from the back and then I also started to notice a slight clunking/rattling in the back too. So yesterday I removed the rear rotors....
Going to look tonight hopefully. Thanks for the reply.
Okay thanks. I'll try the bedding in thing and also the quiet street listening technique..
Okay, Thanks BillAileo- Of course not what I was hoping to hear :(
Hi Astro14- Thanks for helping me. Yes brand new pads and brand new rotors. Volvo pads + Brembo rotors. All wheels.
1- I've heard about that bedding proccess. I'll give it a shot, though I wonder...
Hi all,
Is it fairly normal to hear a rubbing sound while driving and brakes aren't even applied? They are "Volvo" labelled pads and Brembo labelled rotors if that's any help. In reading the...
Last weekend I replaced front control arms (bushing going), ball joints (just in case), and spring coils (passenger was broken). Today I just finished all corners rotors and pads.
Next I'm going...
Perfect! :D
Thanks again and again. Now for the pesky control arm bolt. Fingers crossed [thumbup]
Hi Astro14- thanks once again.
Yes the shoes/friction material looked thick.
I will do the bedding in thing and re-tighten/ adjust the 10mm nut if need be.
I have to fix one last thing...
Thanks so much Asro14. I really appreciate the time you have spent to help me out here.
I recall now that I first had JUST the driver side jacked up to do the brakes there. This explains why it...
I just read the pdf on replacing the parking shoes. I know I didn't do this, I did the rotor, but maybe the issue is similar:
"Test drive and readjust the parking brake
After replacing the brake...
Hello all,
Just replaced both sides rear rotors and pads. Now the parking brake doesn't seem to be working. Should it work right away or does it need to bed in a little the new rotor. I didn't...
Yes I hope everything is good..
Thanks.
Y.
Okay, I had the whole front end up (two jacks). I had replaced the rotor and pads on the driver side and was almost certain that the rotor/hub only would rotate about maybe 10 degrees before it would...
I posted this in the P1 section already by accident..
Hi, I had the front of the car up on jackstands today and noticed that the passenger side drive shaft spins freely when the shifter is in...
I actually meant to post this in the 2001-2007 section..Oops. My XC is 2003.
Hi, I had the front of the car up on jackstands today and noticed that the passenger side drive shaft spins freely when the shifter is in park. Is that proper? I recently did the control arm, was it...
Thanks again guys. Yeah I did start to think about that too. Who knows what kind of bolt it really is. M12X105 is just the shape of it..
BTW- Thanks Howard- I've found your webpage very helpful.
Nevermind this last question- I'll probably just buy it from the local Volvo dealer. Not worth the hassle of finding somewhere else, even though I'm sure it will be a silly price to pay for a bolt ;)...
BTW- Does anyone know a good place to buy a replacement bolt? I notice the arms don't come with new bolts..
That was my thought too. Just loosen and go again, but it really just wouldn't go. I guess I'm going to have to put my old control arm back on , then send this one back, then wait, then take the old...
Hi- I tried both loosely and no go. The sub frame holes determine the angle of the bolt going from the engine side to the wheel well side. Then it threads into the flange. The passenger side went...
