Re: Help on missing boot tray

I had same problem but refused to pay the high prices quoted.
So cut a piece of ply which fits on the ledge and goes up and over the back bit near the rear seats. Covered with car carpet and it looks the part. Now have a thin storage area under the boot floor ideal for brollys etc.

Re: Knocking sound when steering the wheel to the right side

Just a point, i didn't really hear a "knock" it's more a feeling coming through the steering wheel. Its like the feeling when uj couplings are wearing and you can feel it.
My car is a R Design T4 AWD 2020 Auto

Re: Knocking sound when steering the wheel to the right side

When I had the problem, i could feel it as well as hear it. It didnt happen as much when wet and alot of people have sprayed the top mounts to "cure" the problem. The dealer had the car for 2 days driving it around and phoned to say they could find nothing. I told them to try parking in th...

Re: Knocking sound when steering the wheel to the right side

It's a known fault. Mixture of incorrect torque settings on the suspension top. Can weaken the rubber. Very hard to pinpoint but full lock at slow speeds usually shows it. Get them to do both sides.

Re: Noise when steering right

Had the same but both left and right at very slow speed. Found to be the front turret tops. They replaced both sides and re-torqued to a different setting.
All done by local Volvo garage who said they had done "afew",

Re: Steering noise

Hmm beware of the lubricants you use on whatever flexible polymer... You should only use silicon grease on rubber type stuff. Mineral oil based lubricants can make rubber swell I agree, my dad always said never put vaseline on rubber! On the original point, the noise was only when moving forward or...
