Over the last week or so my 2007 XC90 D5 has started making quite a loud dry scraping/squeaking noise from the front nearside suspension, evident when going over bumps.
At first I thought that maybe a small section of the coil spring had snapped off the end but nothing is apparent and curiously after about 3 or 4 miles the noise goes for the rest of the day but will be present the next morning.
Both control arms were changed in February so hopefully these can be discounted.
I'm certain that it is from the strut assembly and wondering if the top bearing may be the issue but why would the noise stop after a short while..
Very strange
