How strange as that's what I had before on my 16" wheels and I had no problems

Here is the link for the noise if you're interested. Skip to 1:38 and again to 3:56 for the noise I was getting

Thanks for the video. That's definitely not the noise which I'm hearing. To be honest, I think now the car is being used daily, all of the noises/knocks are seeming to disappear. No joke. From when I bought it a year ago to now, you wouldn't believe it's the same car!

I had a look at the bolts on the arches today on mine and there are no sign of any, there seem to be some small plastic looking rivets instead. My cars an 04, maybe Volvo diagnosed this to be a problem and changed the design later on??

Thanks for your help,

Hmm interesting. Do you have any pictures of your rear arch with the rivots?

Would be interesting to see.

Thanks
