'03 Propeller Shaft Replacement
My 2003 XC70 (83K miles) needs a new propeller shaft. It's developed a "clicking" noise with every revolution of the shaft. The dealership I use in Baltimore said in it's current state that it's not a safety issue to drive, and in fact, I just made 300 mile round trip with no adverse effect, but the clicking noise (only audible at slower speeds) is driving me insane and I plan to drive this thing until the wheels fall off (plus it will be my daughter's car when she starts driving next year about this time). So...I am biting the bullet to and having it replaced. Unfortunately, it's not a cheap repair. I searched the forum and I didn't find anything on replacement of propeller shafts so I assume this is an uncommon failure? Has anyone else had to replace the propeller shaft and does anyone have any ideas as to what generally causes these to need replacing. The vehicle has been regularly serviced by various Volvo dealers since I took ownership in 2003. Thanks in advance for any replies.
Cheers, Gary
