Rain Squeal Exhaust Bracket, AWD - P2 S60R V70R S60 V70 XC70
Genuine Volvo 30793794 - 234901
Product Description
A service kit from Volvo, designed to address "rain squeal" on P2 AWD cars. Primarily an issue on the S60R and V70R due to their large-diameter exhaust, the proximity of the exhaust to the propshaft means thermal expansion/contraction of the exhaust could sometimes cause it to flex towards the propshaft and temporarily make contact until it evently heats up and returns to its original shape.
The short version: drive through a puddle, and the splash of cold water on hot exhaust will bend it in to the driveshaft and give you a nice screeching noise.
IPD's oval tube stainless steel exhaust is oval instead of round primarily to give enough clearance to avoid the propshaft, but if you want to retain your factory exhaust, you can use this service kit from Volvo instead. This add-on kit includes an exhaust clamp, rubber hangers, and a bracket, holding your exhaust down and keeping rain squeal at bay.

Many may not know this but Volvo in Latin roughly translates to "to roll". The company was founded back in 1927 by Assar Gabrielsson and Gustaf Larsson as a spin-off from ball-bearing manufacturer SKF. While the Volvo logo looks like the biology symbol for male, it's really the Swedish symbol for Iron. With a nod to its heritage in alloys, Volvo chose a logo that depicted a ring bisecting at one o’clock. Today Volvo is known around the world as one of the most iconic brands known for safety, longevity, and its enthusiast following.
