Ok Guys & Gals can someone tell me what would cause the Blower to have a slight squeek when I trun right and going straight but not when I trun left? Crazy hua???? Kent.

 

Getting old. The motor has a bearing on both ends. Maybe one is worn more than the other.

Blower Motor Removal - Volvo 850

 

I think this is pretty common. Might did it too. I took the motor out last weekend and blew it out, and oiled the bearings as best I could. Been quiet since....but it's only been a few days. We'll see how long it lasts. There are a lot of write-ups on this if you search it.

 

Bearings will make a different noise depending on how much of a load they carry, the direction the load is placed on the bearing and also the direction the bearing is spinning.

It sounds a little odd but it's not uncommon for a bearing to quiet down when loaded in one direction compared to another. When you turn left the bearing must get pushed into a "good" position and it quiets down.

You should definitely take it apart and lube it or replace it before it starts to drag and possibly pulls too many amps through the resistor and burns out the blower motor resistor.

 

Sounds like a fairley straight foward job, I know what my chore is for this weekend! Thanks rspi for the link, Kent.
