About Volvo

Kevin Anderson asked:


The Volvo C70 has been redesigned and it sure is going to be bringing in the bucks and translating to more sales for Volvo Cars. This vehicle is able to show off just what it means to be a contemporary vehicle and add along with that the fact that it is a convertible at that. And going back to the colorful history of Volvo, you would find out that this vehicle is quite impressive. It has got a retractable hardtop and many auto lovers find this vehicle to be quite a spectacular one.

Not that huge and muscular like the Volvo XC90 and Volvo XC90 parts, but the Volvo C70 is a unique car by itself. This vehicle is lithe and sleek. It was first made available as a coupe or a convertible. However, it seemed that it only made the sales go down for this vehicle. But come its redesign that now makes the Volvo C70 a vehicle equipped with a retractable hardtop making it both a coupe and a convertible, the sales are sure to go shooting up. Now, the Volvo can be purchased with a couple of options.

A walk around the Volvo C70 and you would find that everything seems to be symmetric. The vehicle also looks smooth and has an aura that it can perform greatly and has power in store. Most people who take a look at the Volvo C70 claim that that it is a car eye candy. After all, the vehicle sports a frameless glass which is quite unique and not so ordinary. And for those who do not know it yet, this second generation Volvo C70 is actually a product of Pininfarina, a much applauded Italian coachbuilder.

That is why it would not be very surprising to find the Volvo C70 topping in sales, in performance, in appeal and most certainly in popular. Indeed, the Volvo C70 coupe/convertible has certainly gone a long way.

I just purchased a 2003 Volvo XC90 T6 with only 56k miles on it and have noticed especially when the hood is popped that it makes a clicking noise. Is this normal for this type of car. Slightly sounds kind of like a diesel engine I guess. Should I be worried?
It’s a constant clicking with the rpm of the engine. If it wasn’t a Volvo I would think it might be bad rockers or something like that. That kind of noise.

Swedish automaker Volvo is one of the industry movers able to start the about-face from the blast-and-cast school of sports wagon manufacturing. Making room for passenger comfort in performance vehicles, Volvo cars feature an integrated suspension setting that boasts of a best-in-class drivability. Composed of a number of STRUT tower braces and STRUT links, the Volvo suspension assembly is incorporated to the car chassis, which facilitates even weight transfer along the car suspension. With the Volvo STRUTS all braced up for chassis flex during high-speed turns, the Volvo frame is strengthened and makes the car resistant against body roll.

The Volvo STRUT tower brace unifies the car’s STRUTS and sway bars. Collectively, these bars and towers form a frame within the car frame and absorb chassis flex, sparing the car cabin from excessive roll especially during hard cornering. Newer Volvo models come stock-fitted with a STRUT tower brace. Older Volvos can have their suspension setting unified with a simple drill-and-bolt procedure. Because the front suspension turns left and right during steering, front STRUTS are mounted and require no drilling, while rear struts are drilled on to the car chassis.

Volvo rear and front STRUTS are designed to take the brunt of chassis flex. They are steel braces built for durability and can even be reused. They are mounted on heavy-duty chrome shaft MOUNTS to withstand stress. Front STRUT MOUNTS, however, need to have pivot points to allow the front wheels to steer. STRUT MOUNTS at the head of the Volvo suspension assembly have rubber joints with BUSHINGS and bearings to provide a flexible coupling. Front STRUTS with a rubber coupling are used on compact Volvos that have a McPherson STRUT assembly. This type of STRUTS can also be used on the rear end of the car if it is capable of a four-wheel drive. In most cases, fixed chrome shafts are used on rear STRUTS to make the car better equipped against chassis flex.

When the Volvo hug curves, stress is absorbed by the STRUTS and flows down the mounting points. The chrome shafts of the rear STRUT MOUNTS dampen the stress, while the rubber portion of the front STRUT MOUNTS are susceptible to wear out its BUSHINGS and bearings in the face of chassis flex. While the shaft MOUNTS can accommodate the rerouted chassis flex, the BUSHINGS and bearings can give in and reduce the flexibility of the pivot points. On account of the usual stress that the Volvo front STRUT braces meet, STRUT MOUNT BUSHINGS and bearings are suspension assembly parts that necessitate regular maintenance.

A worn out STRUT MOUNT BUSHING can make steering hard and negate the cabin comfort that the Volvo suspension provides. It results in erratic steering and makes a creaking and popping noise. Even at cruise speed, a busted MOUNT can rear its ugly head in the form of excessive play in the suspension. This can break the rubber portion of the MOUNT and snowball into disproportionate bounce and front STRUT collapse. In most cases, the creaking noise precedes the erratic steering, and is one way to tell if the Volvo STRUT MOUNT BUSHING has gone past its peak performance.

The Volvo XC90, Volvo’s best-seller, is back on the road. But this time around, it will be offering lots of ‘people protectors.’

The words ‘Volvo’ and ‘safety’ have been deemed so synonymous with each other so much so that when the first word is mentioned, the second word would instantly come to mind. Volvo has etched the safety niche over a number of decades with several milestones and innovations since 1944 when it invented the safety cage. In 1959, the automaker unleashed its three-point safety belts. In addition, childproof locks and rear-facing child seats was developed by Volvo’s pool of engineers in 1972.

Volvo’s integrity for safety is a product of continuous study and testing. As a fact, it has created a team to study crashes involving Volvo cars. From the facts, the pool of Volvo engineers incorporated the findings into the manufacture of auto parts and safety features. This is the reason why the automaker is intimately related to safety more than other auto manufacturers.

Aficionados, who are obsessed with safety, comfort and Scandinavian appeal can count on the prowess of the Swedish automaker. These features are incorporated in the new Volvo XC90 which comes as a midsize luxury crossover. The car does not only concentrate on the efficiency of Volvo struts and other parts for it also boasts of its set of ‘people protector’ features.

The latter include the dynamic stability traction control, tire pressure monitoring system, unibody construction with high-strength steel passenger safety cage, rollover protection system with Boron steel reinforced roof, inflatable curtain head protection for all three rows of passengers, roll stability control, side-impact protection system, driver and front-passenger air bags, dual attachment systems for child seats, whiplash protection system, three-point safety belts with height adjustment and force limiters, padded head restraints, turn signal indicators in side mirrors, perimeter lighting system, immobilizer anti-theft ignition system with coded keys, security system with backup battery for siren, tailgate auto wiper system, child safety locks in rear doors, and integrated front fog lights.

The Volvo XC90 also features the powerful V8 engine that produces 311 horsepower and 325 pound feet of torque. The remarkable features of the car made it Volvo’s hot-selling vehicle in the United States. The XC90 accounts for about 25 percent of Volvo’s US sales. The crossover SUV also is the automaker’s best-selling vehicle around the globe with 85,994 cars sold in 2005.

The new Volvo XC90, which has debuted at the New York Auto Show, has entertained a redesign to include a subtly-restyled front and rear, and a more luxurious interior. The vehicle, which is now produced at the automaker’s Torslanda plant in Sweden, epitomizes state-of-the-art design, comfort, safety and versatility.
