Inner CV joints for Volvo S60 T2
Maintaining the drivetrain on your Volvo S60 T2 is vital to preserving the car’s characteristic driving feel and safety. The inner CV joint is a crucial component that is often overlooked until problems arise. For a modern car like the S60 T2, where power delivery must be smooth and efficient, premium-quality components are essential. At CVJoint24, we are specialists in these exact parts and understand the technical demands placed on your vehicle's power transmission. By choosing the right spare parts, you not only extend the car's service life but also ensure that fuel efficiency and ride comfort remain optimal throughout your ownership.
What does an inner CV joint do on a Volvo S60 T2?
The inner CV joint is fitted closest to the gearbox and serves a distinct purpose compared to the outer joint. Whilst the outer joint accommodates large steering angles, the primary role of the inner constant velocity joint is to allow for length variations in the drive shaft as the suspension moves up and down. On a Volvo S60, this component works continuously to transfer torque from the engine via the gearbox to the wheels, regardless of road undulations. Acting as a plunging telescopic link that absorbs movement, it prevents mechanical stresses from travelling into the gearbox or engine, which is critical for drivetrain longevity.
Common signs of wear
When an inner CV joint begins to wear out on a Volvo S60 T2, it typically manifests as noticeable vibration. Unlike an outer CV joint, which clicks on full steering lock, inner joint failure is primarily felt as shaking through the car’s body during acceleration. These vibrations can be felt throughout the car and tend to disappear the moment you lift off the accelerator. Another sign is a dull thumping noise when changing speed. If you spot these symptoms, it is important to act quickly, as a defective inner joint can lead to consequential damage to the gearbox seals and bearings, resulting in far costlier repairs down the road.
How to choose the correct inner CV joint
Finding the exact inner CV joints for Volvo models can be challenging, as specifications vary depending on gearbox type and model year. For the Volvo S60 T2, it is essential to verify the spline count both into the gearbox and onto the drive shaft, as well as measuring the diameter of the contact surfaces. The most reliable way to avoid ordering the wrong part is to filter by your car's make, model and engine. We have structured our catalogue so you can select the correct part straight away. By matching your car's exact details with our technical specifications, we ensure the component you order fits perfectly without any need for modifications during fitting.
Related parts to check
It is also worth checking these exact pages for the same vehicle when working on the inner CV joint:
When a drivetrain component shows signs of wear, neighbouring parts on the same car often require inspection as well. Comparing these exact pages for the Volvo S60 T2 makes it easier to tell whether the issue lies specifically with the inner CV joint or with an adjacent section of the power transmission.
This is especially true on models where vibrations, play and unusual noises can blur the symptoms across multiple components within the same drivetrain. A quick check of related categories reduces the risk of replacing the right type of part whilst missing an adjacent component that contributes to the very same fault.

Frequently asked questions about inner CV joints for Volvo S60 T2
What are the most common symptoms of a faulty inner CV joint on a Volvo S60 T2?
The most frequent signs are vibrations through the body of the car under acceleration that typically subside when you lift off the throttle, along with dull knocking noises under load.
Can I replace just the inner CV joint, or do I need to replace the entire drive shaft?
On the Volvo S60 T2, it is often perfectly possible to replace just the inner CV joint if the shaft itself is straight and undamaged, making it a cost-effective solution.
How do I make sure I select the correct inner CV joint for my S60 T2?
The most reliable method is to select your car's specific make, model and engine variant. This ensures the correct spare part is matched to your vehicle's exact gearbox and drive shaft setup.
Are the CV boot and grease included when I buy an inner CV joint from you?
Yes, our inner CV joints are supplied as complete kits including the matching CV boot, premium-grade grease and all necessary fitting hardware, such as clamps.
Why does the inner CV joint wear out on my Volvo?
Wear is most commonly caused by a split or damaged CV boot that lets dirt and moisture in, or by the grease ageing and losing its lubricating properties over time.
How quickly can I get my new CV joint delivered?
We offer dispatch on business days for in-stock orders, helping you get your Volvo S60 T2 back on the road without unnecessary delays.
