Hello everybody, I’ve already read everything that has appeared here in the forum for the above mentioned topic. For me the following questions appear in the special case … My case: Two months ago acquired C70 MJ 2006 T5, 2.5, 220 hp, automatic with 152,000 km on the speedometer. Has covered the last four years only 4,000 km, otherwise stood in underground car parking. After the vehicle was warm, stronger vibrations can be felt from the front while accelerating, as well as noises at the steering lock. ag in both directions. Especially strongly uphill. After foot from the gas no vibrations. These symptoms have slowly become worse, now the car does not have to warm up at all and the vibrations also appear in lower speed ranges. Since a used car insurance is still in play, the time until repair has drawn endlessly, now I have an appointment next week for the exchange of both drive shafts in front in the local Volvo workshop. last week the two drive shafts were not available as spare parts at Volvo or in the accessories!! Is the C70 such an exotic now? The appointment for the exchange next week would therefore have almost burst and my nerves would have taken noticeably damage, since I now have no reliable vehicle for more than four weeks – while my reliable Golf IV with about 300,000 km continues with its new owner without complaint and cheerfully. This is why I found drive shafts in my own research here https://uleu.de and, as a private person, I compared and ordered the parts via chassis number by telephone. Right of return is granted. A friendly motor vehicle master a.D. strengthened me in the AW theory, since in his career he probably often encountered AW problems, especially with vehicles with long service life, if the Fzg. then plö I also trust the statements of the people in my workshop and feel well cared for there for years with the Mazda brand. But they also told me that they are 97% sure that it is the AWs, but there is also a residual risk that not. Now you read here also that it might be the engine bearings. Is there also for my C70 these “improved” engine bearings? Wouldn’t it be cheaper to exchange them if it were so or other The car for the AWs on both sides is at 1,800. The insurance takes over 1,000.- . As said … I am really a little at the end with my nerves. The car is great but the switch to Volvo is very, very stressful. Therefore it would be nice if someone still had an assessment on the subject. With thanks in advance, best regards Christian
