This video shows you how to install a passenger's side CV axle on your 2001-2007 Volvo V70. A CV axle has flexible joints. Often, these joints wear out, or seize from contaminants due to the protective boot tearing open. A worn joint is prone to breakage, or other hazards. If your vehicle needs a new CV axle, install a quality TRQ axle that is engineered to your vehicle’s specifications.

This process should be similar on the following vehicles:
2001 Volvo V70
2002 Volvo V70
2003 Volvo V70
2004 Volvo V70
2005 Volvo V70
2006 Volvo V70
2007 Volvo V70

Tools you will need:
• 3/8 Inch Impact Gun
• Anti-Seize Grease

Could have turned the wheel and the shaft at the hub will come out. No need to take strut or tie rod off. Just make sure to jack the car up while leaving the A-arms falling down. No need to realign if you don't unbolt the strut.👍

Nice vid..helped me alot!
Even when doing it on the ground, it was way easier. Biggest struggle was getting shock absorber back to knuckle. Otherwise..easy as pie. Cheeers from Latvia!

Torque your carrier bearing nuts to 70 then 90° turn more before replacing the belly pan!

[CaptainSeamus]

Anyone else ever have a problem with the carrier bearing sliding along the intermediate shaft, causing the splines in the transaxle/angle gear assembly to disengage and lose all power to the wheels, or has it just been my bad luck twice on AutoZone half shafts? Car is a 2004 S60R with AW71 auto. The fix is to use 640 sleeve retainer or 271 hi strength thread locker on the shaft, and then repress the bearing (which doesn't seem to be too much of a press to move to place).

Great video! Does the bevel gear not lose fluid when pulling the old axle?

[tomdeklerk]

Great video! Is I presume this is an automatic? I don’t know if there are differences between auto and manuals

I like this approach more than the other I've seen where you're supposed to force the lower control arm out of the way using a ratchet strap from underneath that will strain the rubber bushings like crazy. 👍

2008 xc70. Will any transmission fluid be leaking out during this process?

Opportune time to reseal the angle gear!

[nathanhiggins]

i didn't see any retention rings or snap rings on there, is that the case? I actually have a 2010 but having a hard time finding this info

[HhhGggg-rzbu]

That angle gear looks drenched in gear oil 😂

[JosueGonzalez-tx]

Was it still connected to the lower control arm

What if the torque on last bolt was higher than 35Nm?

[jeffflowers]

I'm trying to change out my drivers side. When I pulled on the axle it came apart and the last piece is stuck in the transmission. I can not get it to pop out even driving a wedge in. If I pull this passenger side will I be able to see the end of the driver side to bang it out from this side?
