Car parts and drivetrain components for Volvo XC70.
The most common symptoms of a failing propeller shaft are vibrations throughout the car that increase with speed, or a thumping sound from the centre of the vehicle under load. This is often caused by a worn centre bearing or seized joints in the prop shaft.
A clicking noise during sharp turns is a classic sign of a worn outer CV joint. This is usually caused by a split CV boot allowing grease to escape and dirt to enter the joint.
