My 99 S70 has 120000 miles. The driver side wheel seems loose when I kick the tire, but the lugs are tight. Do you think my CV joint is bad or do I have a bearing issue? Does anyone have a website with how to info for Volvos, especially 98-99's S70? I can't find a repair manual locally.

Any help would be appreciated!

If the lug bolts are tight, it could be:

- Retiring ball joint (this has to be replaced with the control arm as they are one unit).
- Retiring tie-rod end.
- Retiring bearing hub assy (if it's making noise)
- Retiring control arm bushing (not too common).
- Loose hub nut (not too common unless someone fiascoed it upon installation)

Usually, a retiring CV-joint would not make the wheel loose but is noticed by clicking at turns.

The Haynes ver. seems to cover '99. Chilton seems to cover only up to the '98 models.
