Hey guys, been a minute since I last posted here. Hope you all are well.
My 240 has been making this noise for some time - occasionally when I brake I hear this click in the front left wheel well area (from inside the car) and it almost seems like the car shifts slightly? It also happens sometimes when I turn left, and fairly often when I take a really sharp left turn. I've been so busy lately that time kind of all blends together, but if I had to guess I've been driving it like this for over a year?
I also had a guy outside of a tattoo shop tell me "Hey man, your Volvo's got a lean to it", and I hadn't noticed it until that point. Not dramatic, but enough for him to notice. What are the odds these things are related? I only drive about 2.5 miles to work daily, and it's felt solid for a while so I hadn't addressed it, but I'm trying to be careful now since I've put it off so long.
I know back when I drove a VW GTI I had a CV boot go out and it made the loudest clunking noise when turning - mine isn't close to that yet. It's a quieter clicking noise that sort of sounds like metal on metal, or a metal joint shifting? A friend said something about the rack and pinion assembly?
What do you guys think this could be. I've been googling a bit but haven't come to a solid conclusion. Worn CV joint? Could that also cause a lean?
I've got a bit of tax return money and I'm hoping to go ahead and just address it this next week when I've got some free time.
Thanks!
