S60r/v70r

chelle_belle · Mar 21st, 2012, 20:43

Hi all.

Where is the angle gear on the S60R/V70R,.? Do these cars have a transfer box? Also do the tyers need to be kept with in 2mm tread depth of each other?
Thanks in advance if you can answer my questions.

Im pretty sure angle gear is at the front as for the tyres i would have said the suspension will adapt for that

a 2mm difference in tread depth works to about 10-14mm difference in peripheral length depending on tyre size. better to keep depths as close as possible but i'm sure taking corners etc requires the differential to work far more.

the angle gear is in the transfer box upfront, at the back of the engine, I think from memory, the angle gear joins to shafts together, the angle gear is the weak part that wears away, did on mine after 50,000 miles

yes keep tires with in 2mm, just to be 100% safe

The tyre tread depth isnt important on this later system with the Haldex coupling . Tyre depths are only a concern with the viscous coupling used up to 2001 .

Angle gear is on the output side of the gearbox. The right hand side driveshaft goes through the angle gear.

There's no need to keep tires to any % within each other in a haldex system. Thats for the viscous couplings from pre-AOC time, every S60R/V70R P2X chassis are fine.

The angle gear itself isn't weak, but the transfer joint between the gearbox and angle gear wears out eventually, rendering the car 2WD.

Small correction if I may,

Up to 2002 in XC70/V70, S60 is always Haldex.

XC90 always Haldex.
