Brand New Nokian WRG4 SUV XL All-Weather Severe Service Tires
I had same issue and pulled off the rusted cover over a year ago and still no issues... I would leave it alone until it leaks.
I don't recall... but its very easy to check the if the tube fell off. Very common failure that is noisy.
This is what I replaced to quiet my car down... http://www.ipdusa.com/products/6920/112911-power-steering-reservoir-s70-v70-c70-s60-xc70-s80
Little brass pickup tube inside falls off causing the...
I have been dealing with tons of rattles plus much more body roll due to bad end links.... I never replaced until now at 130k miles and I should have done a long time ago... Back to nice and quiet...
Dealer did the work. My indy who maintains the car could have done but he never did one before and was booked up so opted for the dealer.
Well to report back after Angle Gear Replacement and (2) Rear Wheel Bearings (wrong side changes so 2 for 1 deal for me) it drives like it did back in 2003. I always had some sort of noise which I...
Agreed. We had snow over weekend and did my test in driveway to see all 4-wheels left marks in snow.... it stripped/broke apart yesterday for sure.
Pulling it apart now. Showed me the collar is stripped since you can feel it when you turn drive shaft. The issue the mechanic is warning is due to the miles the angle gear output shaft teeth will...
Driving home today I pulled out and had to accelerate hard, noticed front tires starting spinning then a pop noise as i was letting off the gas. I thought I hit a pothole so drove the rest of the way...
I still am on my original battery from 11/2003 when we purchased.... I add distilled water each year... I know I am on borrowed time but it still starts perfect even outside in winter cold....
Had a chance to try them out in some mud this weekend getting the X-mas tree. Very happy, didn't get stuck... Lot's of folks stuck didn't have any issues at all.
I have been using a local tire place since 2002 in my area but STS (http://www.ststire.com/) has good pricing on Nokians and they are all over our area.

Just put on my 3rd set of Nokians. Started with WR SUV, then WRG2 SUV and now the G3 SUVs. I read the reviews and some liked the G2 better but so far these perform fine in Rain and Light Snow/Slush....
I will be going on my 3rd set over the next couple of months. This is the only tire our Volvo will get couldn't be happier in all weather conditions and 40k-45k miles works for me since they perform...
Had all the work done and so far so good.... Noticed as others have suggested much smoother midrange now... plus the best part is not I went from 24.5 MPG mixed driving to work to 26.5-27MPG..... :)
I just bought a set to be installed next week along with changing ALL driveline fluids including rear diff filter, spark plugs, fuel filter, replace last original driver side wheel bearing to refresh...

Big difference.... easy swap.....
I am going to change them all. We have a 2012 Pilot and Honda wants you to replace all the fluids for 4WD every 15k/30k.
I will also be using the Mobil 3309 instead of paying 2x the cost for Volvo...
I am approaching 120k and am on the fence if I should have all three of these or a combination of these changed. I have been doing the transmission fluid and other fluids as well. I am really looking...
24.5 mainly local over 7500 miles/each oil change .... 25-50mph mixed.... Can't complain about that at all w/ 118.5k miles....
I had low light come on... never really checked on a normal basis but once I refilled and I keep checking all has been fine. I noticed our Pilot after 2yrs was low as well, so topped that one off.

I am on my second set of Nokians WRG2 currently with 40,000 miles on them. I will get another 7500 or so miles since they are fine in the rain but not snow for the next winter. I am going to WR G3...
