Worn Axle rebuild or replace?
Hello,
My drive shafts clicks when shifting gears from forward to reverse. Same noise in this video: https://youtu.be/S9c3I53TbwI They Clicking And/Or Popping Noise when I steering at low speed (like parking). Same noise in this video: https://youtu.be/sNuEUwOq4k0 I got two offers: 1) Repair / Rebuild the original VOLVO drive shafts for total cost of EUR 130 - 150 . 2) Buy a replacement for EUR 200 + install it EUR 100 = EUR 300 The replacement is not the factory one: https://www.polar-parts.co.uk/Drive-...04831?curr=EUR https://www.polar-parts.co.uk/Drive-...04832?curr=EUR I fear that the rebuild is not as good as a replacement. I heard that the rebuilt one good for another 1-2 years then I can throw it to the garbage. The new car part maybe not the original VOLVO but I heard it will be good for 5 years. |

Secondly, wouldn't the life of any unit, new or rebuilt, be more mileage than time based? If you cover only a modest mileage, the times to failure seem very conservative. I would expect a conscientiously rebuilt unit, using quality parts and driven considerately, to last rather longer than just a year or two. Regards, John.

Look far and wide for a shaft shop. Send it to another country if need be.
"Replacement" shafts have a percentage of misfits. You'll designate manual or automatic transmission and get the other. I'm fortunate in that I live near one. |

If this does not cure it as it has been neglected , then some loctite on the first 20 mm of the outside end of the splines should do it . DO not put loctite all over the full spline or you wont get them off again when you need to , Volvo have a hydraulic puller if that happens .

Just replaced the shafts. There is oil leaking from the left side. Is that misfits?

Probably a worn oil seal on the gearbox if it wasn't replaced at the same time?
