2003 V70XC Vibration
My son's2003 V70XC with 88k mileshas a vibration from 70mph and above.
I found the discussions about V70 vibrations on this forum quite interesting and informative; and, wish to post this problem specific to his Volvo.
The following steps have been taken to determine the vibration cause.
[ol][*]The tires have been balanced and their diameters were determined to be within driving specifications.[*]A Volvo Specialty shop and a Volvo dealer who diagnosed this Volvowere unable toidentify the vibration cause. A steering link was stated to be some loose but still serviceable and not perceived to be causing the vibration. The struts were stated to be within service specifications. [/ol]
Last evening he and I drove this Volvo and detected a vibration at 70 mph and above that seemed to be pronounced or initiated when encountering a small road bump, such as section divider.
Plus, this vibration was observable during acceleration and coasting without braking. The steering was predictably responsive and not perceived to be loose.
Without prejudicing a perception or past experience, how problematic are the drivelines and the presumed eight (8) included universal joints. Also, what steps are required to validate driveline and/or universal joint defectiveness?
Thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide.
