Hi Roger. If you do have any more info on these parts, I'd be very interested, as mine has always had a clonk, which has persisted even though the entire front suspension, including ARB bushes and I have concluded it probably is a sub frame mount issue Thanks, Barry

Solution (or at least it seems like it). Replace balljoint between control-arm and wheel.
Car failed (Dutch equivalent of) MOT due to too much play on the steering-ball joint. Replaced it (those two words was actually a few hours work, about 2000 swearwords, some blood, unscrewing the axial joint* because the arresting-nut was pretty much fused onto the axial-joint-threading, grinding it off, etc.) When reapplying for the MOT, they said the balljoint also had far too much play, but they hadn't felt it due to the steering-ball joint. Big disappointment... The store managed to give me the M14 version after checking on the Volvo site that this is what is mounted in my Volvo (found by using the VIN). But I have the M12 version. At which time I just wanted to cry and give up. The pic above is the 14mm version as my nut has a conical underside and could never lie flat on a table like the pic. Long story short: even though I am 100% sure the "clunk" came from both the left and the right side, I haven't heard it since replacing the latter ball joint... * Axial joint: I had to unscrew this (you can *just* slide the gator enough out of the way to be able to unscrew it). Then I was able to put the locking-nut in a vice (with the axial joint and the steering-ball-joint still attached to it). After this I could unscrew the steering-ball-joint-arm (from the first pic) from the axial ball-joint (third pic). Once this was done, I could grind off the locking nut. This was all necessary because the poor Volvo steel and the Hazet quality 13mm wrench (both were to blame) were unable to get enough grip to unscrew either the arm or the locking nut from the thread coming from the axial joint.

Sure, there's a longitudinal slit in the thread now, but 95% thread should still last a lifetime. |

The ball joint pictured with regular taper is for steel lower arms, fitted mid 2005 onwards (dates may vary) 14mm thread.
You have the conical seat ball joint, which is for the earlier alloy lower arms 12mm thread. The steering knuckle (hub carrier) is different for the two types of ball joint. Note - it can be difficult to remove the ball joints from the hub carrier - care is needed as the hub carriers have been known to break.

So did your clonk disappear?
On my old S40 2003, I believe my clonk was caused by a worn out output shaft of the Renault gearbox, it causes significant play in the inner cv joint. Then I get an S60 Auto and there is also a clonk, turns out someone...had removed my driveshaft axle bolt...and there was significant play, the driveshaft was going in and out of the gearbox and/or hub when accelerating or braking. Once I installed a new bolt, the clunk disappeared. Although I did put a milk thread locker there. |

inner tie rod end? I never knew these existed until a dealer told me mine were worn. I have a clunk ongoing but still haven't got round to changing them yet
