Volvo S70 2.4 Drivetrain

The Volvo S70 2.4 is a car renowned for its reliability and comfort, but maintaining these qualities requires a drivetrain in peak condition. The drivetrain is the system that transfers engine power from the gearbox to the wheels, and on a front-wheel-drive car such as the S70 2.4, these components are subjected to significant stress under both acceleration and cornering. At CVJoint24, we specialise in these exact components to offer you, as an owner, the finest options on the market. With products developed specifically for the Volvo S70 2.4, we can ensure you find the right parts for your car's exact requirements. Investing in high-quality spare parts is crucial to prevent consequential damage to other areas of the power transmission.

How the drivetrain is engineered on the Volvo S70 2.4

The layout of the drivetrain on a Volvo S70 2.4 is a classic design for front-wheel-drive cars of this era. Power from the five-cylinder 2.4-litre engine is delivered through the gearbox to two drive shafts. Each drive shaft is fitted with an inner and an outer CV joint. The outer CV joint allows the front wheels to steer while simultaneously driving the car forward, making it one of the most mobile and therefore heavily stressed components in the entire system. The drive shafts on the Volvo S70 2.4 are engineered to cope with both urban driving and extended motorway journeys, continuously compensating for the changing angles between the gearbox and wheel hub. The inner joint, positioned next to the gearbox, allows axial plunge, which is essential as the suspension travels up and down. For the Volvo S70 2.4, precision engineering in these components is vital to minimise vibration and ensure smooth, refined running.

Common faults and symptoms

There are several clear signs that the drivetrain on your Volvo S70 2.4 is starting to wear. One of the most typical symptoms is a clicking or knocking noise when accelerating on full lock; this usually points to a failing outer constant velocity joint. If you instead experience vibrations throughout the car whilst driving, particularly at certain speeds or under load, it can indicate imbalance or wear within the drive shaft itself. It is also essential to inspect the CV boots regularly. If a boot splits, grease escapes while dirt and water enter, quickly destroying the joint's precision-machined surfaces. An early leak can often be resolved simply with a replacement CV joint boot, but left unchecked, it inevitably means replacing the complete joint or driveshaft. Another frequent issue on this S70 model is the ABS warning light coming on, which is often caused by a cracked or corroded ABS ring.

Common parts to replace on the Volvo S70 2.4

For the Volvo S70 2.4, we have identified the key components that most frequently need replacement over the vehicle's lifespan. Our range covers several drive shaft variants to suit the differing specifications depending on gearbox type and year of manufacture. We also supply dedicated outer CV joints engineered to handle the torque output of the 2.4-litre engine. Furthermore, our ABS rings offer a cost-effective remedy when the wheel speed sensor no longer receives a clean signal due to corrosion or cracks in the original ring. Replacing these parts promptly not only saves money over time, but also preserves the safety of you and your passengers by ensuring the car's braking and stability systems operate correctly.
