Car Forum / Volvo Cars / November 200798 S70 CV noise
My 98 S70 has developed a low speed thumping noise from the right front. The noise changes to a constant growl as the speed increases. No vibration is felt in the steering wheel. I suspect a worn CV. Is this a typical noise from a bad CV, or should I be looking for something else?

CV joints begin by clicking on lock under power. Tim.. > > My98S70has developed a low speed thumping noise from the right front. > > The noise changes to a constant growl as the speed increases.

I took the car to a local independant Volvo shop and had the work done. I wish I had found this shop years ago as it would have saved me a lot of money. While I was there I got a quote to repair/replace a bad electric door lock mechanism. He quoted $235 vs the dealer quote of over $600. I won't be returning to the dealer.
