Evening all my name is Tony and I am the proud owner of a Volvo v50 which has a small problem that I thought I could ask for help with. I get a crunching sound and feed back through the accelerator when moving off normally as I get into second gear after that nothing but I think I feel slight vibration on cornering coming from the right side of the car. Oh and its not a wheel bearing.

 

Hey Tony Jack here... did you ever solve this problem. I am having what sounds like to be the exact same issue with my 2006 v50 t5

 

Has anyone solved this? I can feel a grinding sensation being fed back through the accelerator and through the drivers floor.

 

does the feeling change when you apply power vs coasting - clutch in or clutch out? Why do you say its not a wheel bearing (they can be tricky to diagnose...? How do the axle boots look? My guess is its either a wheel bearing or a CV joint. Less likely is the clutch throw out bearing or transmission box. Some vibrations can also be caused by motor mounts or torque rods.
