C70 S70 V70: - Where to find inner OS Constant Velocity joint

AnotherBigAl · May 5th, 2023, 14:42

Hi all,

My first post. I hope this is in the right place but apologise if it wrong.

I am looking for an inner CV joint for my 1998 V70 but am struggling to find one. I have also looked for a complete shaft but again, they do not seem to be available. The VIN number of my old girl is YV1LW7202X2543640.

If anyone can offer any suggestions as to where to look I would be grateful. In desperation I have even explored the possibility of a genuine one but found that they are discontinued.

Welcome to the forum and congratulations in posting in the correct section

Not sure if this is of any use but Skandix have complete drive shafts for your car

Hi 4x4.

Thank you for the link. I'll ask them to verify that their part will be okay - just to be sure.

They also do other side.

Hi Volvo again. That is one of the places I had asked but unfortunately their part is not a match for my car. Thank you for taking the time to look it up though. That is appreciated.

Is this the same company? https://www.jandrcvjoints.co.uk/

Prior to Brexit I bought a complete NS shaft from them for my S80 rather than faff about with grease etc. Good fit and quality was ok for the price. Had no issues.

I think Rudi Dudi mentionned a company in Bristol that refurb originals...or was that steering racks?

I recently had a drive shaft from them for my V40 and so far I'm very happy with it and they were easy to do business with.

Hi cogs. A pair of shafts/ joints was not something I had considered so thank you for the link. I have sent a message to the seller asking it they will fit my car.

Well that worked brilliantly. Thank you everyone for the input. Driveshaft fitted and working.

Well, working up until the car failed its MOT on severe rus. Oh well, you can't win them all.

get it welded it will be far cheaper than finding another car which may have hidden faults and problems.
