Strange noise, worse when steering right - bafflesd!
Hi all, I’m new to this site and new to Volvos! I now own a 2006 silver S60 D5 185 Geartronic and absolutely love it.... but I have an issue! If anyone can shed any light on it, that would be great.
I noise can be heard at low Speeds, unsure how to describe it but it’s a rotational, rattly and maybe a grinding type noise. It’s very obvious when turning right and sometimes (mostly) present when driving straight but disappears when steering left. If you were to steer from left to right repeatedly, it comes on strong, on the right turn. I’ve had it in the garage, expecting it to be something obvious but everything is in good order. No play anywhere in any steering/suspension components, etc and the engine/box mounts are all in good shape. No damage anywhere and there is good clearance around the engine with no signs of contact anywhere. The noise can be replicated as explained when in neutral but rolling, so I would guess it’s not gearbox related. Under load, the car sounds very ‘throaty’, more than I’d expect so am putting this down to the unknown noise under load. Power steeeing pump seems fine too with correct fluid level. Garage baffled as to what it is and so am I!! Any thoughts welcomed! Thanks 😎 |

I would put my money on CV joint or wheel bearing failing as what you describe are the classic symptoms- especially it disappearing when to turn away from that side as this unloads the joint.
There are suggestions also that the seal failing has caused this issue and you will find posts here describing both.

Thanks both, I’ll start there and take a look. The garage did say that there was no play or any sign of damage to the seals, etc but I guess it could still have failed.
I’ll get some new parts and let you know. Cheers again |

Hi doesn't need to be any play in wheel bearing, rumbling is usually a sign of failure due to lack of grease or dirt ingress or similar

Does it had recently new lower arms by any chance? We had an issue where on full lock arm was pushing against brake disk heat shield causing repetitive noise.
