[Kev0607]

Hi,

I've noticed there's a knocking noise on my 2007 S80 2.4 D, particularly on the driver's side of my car. So I had a quick glimpse whilst someone was rocking the steering for me (This is when I hear the noise most) & it appears its coming from the inner track rod.

I rang Volvo for a quote & it was £90 each for the inner ones! This sounds extortionate! Are there any aftermarket reputable brands that you would recommend or a suggestion as to where I may be able to look? Euro Car Parts seem to stock them, but the usual message about there being different fitments pops up. Its annoying when you try to do a job and the parts the suppliers tell you are right end up being wrong!

I'm guessing it makes sense to replace the inner track rods & outer in pairs, seeming though you have to remove one to replace the other? Also, is it a necessity to have the special removal tool, or would a big socket do the job?

Any help/suggestions are appreciated.
