It depends on the engine/transmission, but in effect, most of those post 2006 are 40 spline, with the 3.2, D5, or V8. Even 40 spline driveshafts can be different so you need the right part number.

You can also get outer CVs if needed, but good luck getting the old one off!

Outer CV joints are normally held on with an internal spring circlip – I take it that Volvo doesn’t do this and goes for an interference fit for some reason?

I some times wish i had not bought the bluddy thing.

There are third party companies offering CV's and if it's the rear driveshaft they're shared with the Ford KUGA (you will see Volvo and FoMoCo part numbers if the label is still on).

And there's second hand - they are reliable so used ones are easy to get.

I had that exact same quandry two years ago... except a 200 ton press wouldn't separate them. Ended up costing me nigh on £800 to get sorted then. All to change a £1.74 speed sensor ring

Same has now happened to the off side, along with a few other extra MOT parts, no longer economically viable in my head... so bought a newer car instead.

Smile Get a second hand shaft and hub.

Hi,
I picked up a second hand 36 spline drive shaft and hub quite cheap. (About £50)
Checked with the supplier that they were separated before I got them.
Simple job then to swap the CV joint and any other parts needed, re fit and do the tracking.
Certainly not the big costs being quoted.
May help someone.

Ignore the Ford reference - was thinking I was in the XC60 pages....
