Volvo V70 Driveshaft
The Volvo V70 Driveshaft is the key component that conducts engine rotation to the rear wheels in case the distance or movement cannot provide a mechanical connection. This long tubular bar is present in all V70s; it has the capacity to carry torque between parts of the drivetrain that have been separated, and this enables the car to accelerate smoothly. Volvo designers refer to it as a propeller shaft, tailshaft, or a Cardan shaft, but all models have the same purpose, which is to transfer rotational force and address heavy twisting and shear loads. In order to be lightweight enough to allow rapid response but heavy enough to avoid deformation, this Driveshaft involves high-strength steel in conjunction with hollow construction that keeps the inertia levels low. At each end of the shaft, there are universal joints, allowing the shaft to flex when the suspension is traveling or when the gearbox is changing position, whereas splined or prismatic joints allow the halves to slide along in response to minor length changes when the body is pitching and rolling. There are older cars that use a single solid tube, and newer cars typically use a two-piece design with a center bearing, which reduces vibration and provides the ability to make the individual segments shorter; but both designs use the same joint technology to provide freedom. No matter the version, the Volvo Driveshaft should always remain substantially in balance, as any wobble would be reflected in the cabin shudder. This unseen aspect is appreciated by the owners since Volvo designed it in such a way that it provides a dependable power supply even after several miles and makes the V70 relaxed and efficient under normal driving circumstances.

Volvo V70 Driveshaft Parts and Q&A
- Q: How to diagnose wear in the driveshaft's constant velocity joints during a road test on Volvo V70?A:Road test the car and listen for a metallic clicking noise from the front while driving slowly in a circle with the steering on full-lock, repeating the test on both full left and full right lock. This noise may also be noticeable when pulling away from a standstill with the lock on. A clicking noise is a sign of outer constant velocity joints wear. If while accelerating, vibration that is consistent with the road speed is felt through the car, it may indicate wear in the CVJs (constant velocity joints) on the inside. If joints are worn or damaged, at present, there are only boot kits for this - the complete driveshaft then had to be renewed, with exchange driveshafts being available through a Volvo dealer or specialist.
- Q: How to remove and refit a driveshaft safely and correctly on Volvo V70?A:To remove the driveshaft, firmly put on the handbrake and chock the rear wheels so that the car rests on its wheels for safety when loosening or tightening the driveshaft bolt. For cars with steel wheels, remove the wheel trim to access the driveshaft bolt while the wheel is on the ground, for alloy wheels remove the wheel and fit a temporary spare for access. With the help of an assistant pressing the brake pedal, use a socket and long extension bar to slacken the retaining bolt of the driveshaft, making sure that the tools are of good quality. Loosen the front wheel bolts and jack up the front end of the car and support it on axle stands before removing the front roadwheel and undershield of the engine. Remove the previously slackened driveshaft retaining bolt and take off the ABS wheel sensor from the hub carrier. Undo the mounting bolts, remove the lock restrictor, and suspend the brake caliper, so as not to strain the brake hose. Tap the driveshaft CV joint inwards to release it from the hub flange, then undo the nut fixing the hub carrier lower balljoint onto the suspension control arm taking care not to damage the dust cover. Swivel out the suspension strut and hub carrier assembly which pulls the driveshaft CV joint out of the hub flange. For the left hand driveshaft, lift the inner CV joint out of the transmission without damaging the oil seal or gaiter and pull the driveshaft out from under the wheel arch. For the right-hand driveshaft, remove the covering on the intermediate shaft support bearing and pull the intermediate shaft out of the transmission. Refitting consists of reversing the steps of removal ensuring to clean and lubricate the splines, renew the worn seals, push the inner CV joint all the way into the transmission, use a new retaining bolt, put the same wheel used to loosen and tighten all the nuts and bolts to the recommended torque, including the drivet shaft bolt using a torque wrench and angle-tightening gauge. Make sure the ABS sensor is clean and that the location is clean before refitting, and re-fit the alloy wheel and tighten roadwheel bolts to the recommended torque.
