Hey guys,
My daily is a 2010 Volvo C30 T5 which has been a great car. However, it's age is starting to show, and I'm getting a noise that sounds like a bad wheel bearing.
I got it up in the air and did a shake down on it yesterday. Everything feels tight except for the inner CV which has a little bit of play in all directions. It was my understanding that they should only have small play in and out of the trans and hub. However, I'm not sure if I've actually felt a bad one before.
It wouldn't surprise me if this was the failure. I replaced the original axle about a year ago with this junk piece from RockAuto. (did not fix the issue I was having at that time) The boot was torn and the grease was flung out within a couple weeks. Let me know what you all think. Regardless it's getting replaced. I just need to find a part between $100 Chinese and $500 OEM!
