    My only argument about the tie rod end is that there is no turning taking place when the popping starts, just rolling.

    Snap Crackle Pop When Turning

    So I've been battling front end suspension noises for a pretty long time now.
    I've posted about it before but felt an updated thread was in order - video included this time.....

    **UPDATE**

    First off - dont waste your time or money installing IPD subframe bushing inserts into Original bushings with over 200k miles on the car.
    Its just a waste of time.

    ^^This...more and more reading and I'm leaning towards the subframe bushings. The kit IPD sells has the $11 "aftermarket" bushings vs the Volvo... I wonder if there is really a difference. One might...

    If I may, I have a question about the flush procedure.

    I've done this 3 times on my 03 - first two times were by removing the top line and sending it to a jug - fill - repeat.

    The 3rd time, I...

    The following the grooves issue could be tires or tramlining - zero toe in the front - the alignment should show slight toe in or out for both sides equally, not zero.

    This is how you avoid an alignment with every suspension change.

    I'm torn on what to do TBH - my axles are NOT oem and several years old, about 100k miles on them. I've always had the initial vibration on acceleration since these are not OEM, I just never worried...

    To clarify for others that might read this - Just my findings anyway.

    The "spring seat" is NOT what will go bad - thats a thick solid piece of rubber thats highly unlikely to ever wear out.
