Driveline Front CV Joint Kit - P80 P2 P3 AWD Various
Genuine Volvo 31216176 - 235042
Product Description
On AWD Volvos, the propshaft running between the angle gear at the front of the car and the rear axle has CV joints at either end, allowing it to keep transmitting power smoothly even as the transmission and engine shift around under load.
Over time, however, we've found that the CV joint boot in the front (thanks to its proximity to the hot exhaust) can start to crack and tear, flinging the joint's grease out and eventually resulting in failure of the CV joint. Unable to flex, the propshaft then starts to click and vibrate under load.
Save yourself a costly new driveshaft and use this rebuild kit, containing a new CV joint, new boot, clamps, and grease.

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.
