I sold my first Volvo S40 2.0A because of noisy rear suspension.
My next Volvo S40 T4 had a sport suspension. It rode like a bronco.
I sold that car and bought a S60 2.4 Auto. After my first visit to the service station came noisy suspension hassles. Surely Volvo cannot be making cars with bad suspensions, so I decided to lower the tyre pressure. Now the noises are gone.
Check tyre pressure when your tyres are hot. Escalation in pressure can be as much as 40% during hot weather.
Sorry Bru, You damaged your shocks, links and tops
