Hi All,
Well I spent a bunch of time cruising the past postings and haven't been able to come to a conclusion.
My 2003 XC70 has a noticeable "clunking" when travelling at lower speeds over gravel roads. I can recreate a noise that I think is related by rocking the car or doing a "bounce test" but the damping seems reasonable. I have been to the dealer and with the extended warranty have had a number of things replaced and serviced recently. These include:
- anti roll bar 2 sides replaced link
- inner tie rods both replaced
- rear brake service
- on previous service had bearings replaced
Now I am told that the shocks (that are apparently not covered by warranty) have some internal "valving" that is causing the noise. As the cost is considerable I would like to know if anyone has other ideas of what to look for. It appears that the technician is having trouble identifying the source of the noise and is replacing things as we go.
appreciate any insight!
Peter.
