XC90 Rear suspension failure

menduffy · Jun 5th, 2018, 22:34

Hi all, Our XC90 is about 10 months old and last week whilst my wife was driving it she heard the rear wheel area was making a lot of noise all of sudden. after pulling over in a lay-by she found the drivers side rear wheel was leaning inwards. The car was recovered to our local garage who confirmed a bolt within the suspension had come out causing the problem. They have sorted it, but advised they hadn’t seen the issue before. Was just wondering if anyone else has experienced the issue?

Does your XC90 have air suspension or springs.

Nu11eaf. Sorry, should have said. They are standard springs, no air suspension sadly!

No, the car hasn’t been in for any rear drive shaft recall.
