Volvo S80 clunking in suspension - Craig_1969

I am aware this is a common fault. There is a metallic knocking noise from the front offside suspension area on my 1998 S80 2.4.

Can anyone tell me which parts it is likely to be?

Thx

Volvo S80 clunking in suspension - SjB {P}

My parent's 1998 S80 2.4 had both front track rods replaced under warranty (actually a Volvo recall) when the car was nearly new. May be yours escaped?

Volvo P2 platform cars (S60'V70/S80) are however unfortunately known for early suspension component wear, so for more info, post in the S80 forum at www.volvospy.com and you'll get a spot-on answer, no doubt.
