Hello all, could anyone help me to find out why i am having vibration inside the 2010 Volvo V50 on dashboard, steering wheel, accelerating pedal and front seats while accelerating from low speed or going on a uphill road?

Motor mount?

Bad CV axle?

Bad front control arm bushing?

Misfire (open up several cans o' worms)?

Bad alignment?

Bad tires?

Worn tie rods?

Worn steering rack?

Bad transmission mount?

That's the answer I can give you with the info you gave us so far.

Hello habbyguy, thanks for pointing out the possible causes. After inspecting my v50 from a volvo garage, i got to know that, front axle shafts have play and vibration along with boot leaking. Moreover, front control arms are having play too. They suggested to replace front axle shafts and front control arms.

Both are quite possible (especially if your car has well over 100,000 miles). If the boots are torn, it's a near certainty that the axles are toast (unless the tears JUST happened).

And the control arms do wear out, causing looseness in the front end. Perhaps the first sign is a sharp(ish) "thump" through the steering wheel when stabbing the brakes a little hard.
