How to Replace Axle | Volvo S60

In this video I show you how to replace the driver side axle on a 2005 Volvo s60 2.5t. This process is very similar for both the driver side and the passenger side. This process is also very similar on most vehicles.

The simplicity of this is awesome 👌 great job

[@rwd1973]

Thank you! I need to do this on my S60 2002. Seems pretty straightforward.

[@elijahstrauss643]

Love how simple you made it seem, I need to do this to my 06 S60 2.5T in the next few days.

[@BrandonBrownOctaneOverdrive]

If you live in a place where you get no rust, it should be this easy haha.

[@elijahstrauss643]

@@BrandonBrownOctaneOverdrive I live in Utah, some rust is here but not like the east coast, so hopefully I should be fine without issues :)

[@jeffreykarg5108]

I am just about to do this to my 06 also. 2006 Passenger side S60 AWD 2.5T. Same car? Were you able to use this method of only taking the ball joint off and lifting the hub out of the way? Or did you have to do it like Flopyd Nash kzbin.info/www/bejne/rZTJkoKchr9pirc&ab_channel=FloydNash.

[@elijahstrauss643]

@@jeffreykarg5108 yeah you'll be fine doing it that way, I did mine by keeping the ball joint in, but moved the strut out (replacement strut going in).

[@TK20-00]

Same 3 years later 💀

[@TACTIC0MP]

Great presentation! One mention: I always still leave the jack in place, just in case.

[@user-sp5bn6ye8y]

And also slide the wheel you've taken off, under the cars closest chassis rail to the side you're working under

[@TACTIC0MP]

@@user-sp5bn6ye8y Agree! Safety is paramount! ... Especially If one is working alone... Plan B, and Plan c should always be in the list.

[@zonarzegnetrin4612]

Very good quality video straight to the point and detailed enough for those already mechanically inclined. Linked to the coilovers?

[@mikaeljonsson4686]

I thought there would be some oil coming out of the gearbox when the axle were pulled out? Is it a manual?

[@monkeyboy8424]

Helpful video, thanks. I encourage you to familiarise yourself with the engineering requirements of 'torque settings'.

[@kenhintz7872]

"that sucker ain't going nowhere and or that's right ASF) in foot pounds" hasn't let me down yet lol

[@gerardjones7881]

cars aren't assembled by mechanics at the factory. nothing comes loose with 2 ugga duggas.

[@dereknichols3921]

Where did you get that Jack? And what kind of Jack is that? That is awesome I did not hear. No you could jack it up in the front.

[@kgalvin28]

Very good video! Just did my passenger doing drivers tomorrow. 04 m66 S60r

[@edenilsonbeltran6734]

Hi bro where do you buy the parts for Volvo I have one S60 04 can you help please

[@JesBu]

Great video, one question? What aftermarket brand are you using for the axles? I have read nothing is better as the OEM ones. What can you tell me about your??

[@BobC777]

He used FCPeuro. They supply GKN - OEM axles.

[@bedandbreakfastfan7088]

Curious what brand/vendor you went with and if your axle is still holding up well. Thinking about doing this soon on my Volvo :)

[@BrandonBrownOctaneOverdrive]

I would recommend FCP Euro! And the axles are holding up great still!

[@pavw5508]

Will the gear box oil not come out when you take the drive shafts off?

[@BrandonBrownOctaneOverdrive]

It shouldn't. If your seals are bad it will.

[@donmoore7785]

Pulling the control arm down by hand! You the man. Never thought of that. Nice.

[@reallyhappenings5597]

he made it look easy, it's not! I use a control arm tool

[@paulo1149]

Great video, thanks. That's an amazing jack. Which model is it?

[@paulo1149]

I noticed that your axle shaft did not penetrate flush to the face of the hub. I had the same experience here. Is that normal? On my passenger side, the axle shaft did go all the way to the hub face.

[@pineapple7502]

Great video! Need to do this to my sons S69 and glad I found this! Thank you.

[@NUTZU85]

Just out of curiosity, how much miles did you had when you change the passenger side and also the driver side? I have a Volvo v60 2.0 Diesel automatic from 2015 with 130.000 Km and when i want for example to go right from the start, "sportish" it has a knock sound... but just at the start.. it not that bad....but it is i sign that i also have to change them, i think...

[@daveb6239]

You made this look super simple. Nice job.

[@BrandonBrownOctaneOverdrive]

Thank you! 😊

[@stevemcc4447]

Great job! I have the 09 25T that makes clunking sound when accelerating and decelerating. I assume that would be the axe(s)? So I will give it a go. p.s. and video on replacing the timing chain?

[@kelementinc]

To sit a ball joint properly , is a pain in a neck, kudo's man!

[@RollingShutter]

How did you find out which axle is damaged? My v70 d5 get a mean steering wheel shake when i floor it at around 120-140 kph and i suspect one of them has given out on me.

[@gerardjones7881]

if it isn't clicking its your wheel balance. tires can move on the rim with hard braking and low tire pressure, there goes your tire balance.

[@ArturK1M]

Nice. Well done. I'm going to do this in few weeks too. Cheers

[@DIYGUY1-2-3]

How do I change the bearing in the casing? everyone seems to just change the axles but my bearing has failed.......

[@ac3r787]

Thanks Buddy! Where did you placed the jackstand?

[@ominous-omnipresent-they]

On the frame closest to the outer side of the car and immediately behind the transmission.

[@lassenielsen4340]

i HOPE i can make it just as easy on my s80 t6 , theres a lot of play in it . great video man

[@BobC777]

Do your projects always go this smoothly?

[@BrandonBrownOctaneOverdrive]

Not always, but I do everything I can to ensure they do!

[@Johans60]

It's not a balancing weight, but a torsional damper, the best thing to do is clean the splines, dry an decrease them and put a bit of locktide to it, because the center bolt is just not strong enough to prevent it from moving in the splines

[@odiespankers07]

Did you loosen the top Strut mount beforehand?

[@henrikloiske8572]

No need to do that

[@karlosmccluster7654]

Great video but....................what torque spec was the axle center screw and you forgot to tighten it on the video🤷

[@baileewood2852]

Thank you now I can fix my car

[@gerardjones7881]

working alone with a heart condition and cancer making me a bit weak, its easier to put a ratchet strap on the end of the control arm, attach the other end to the other control arm and start winching it down. the strap will hold it down , now lift the strut with a trolley jack under the brake disk and push it inward.

[@ckkrons2338]

A ratchet strap works better to pull down the control arm in a controlled manner, just pull across to the other side of the car.

[@RandyRaz1]

Nice job !!

[@nandansho]

Why not loosen the control arm nuts in ordere to drop that ball joint bolt out? You'll damage the bushings forcing it like that.

[@BrandonBrownOctaneOverdrive]

No you wont.. Why fuck up your alignment if you dont have to?

[@nandansho]

@@BrandonBrownOctaneOverdrive Look troll, the control arm does not affect your alignment the tie rods do genius.

[@darrenaston1776]

Did the weight make any difference

[@BrandonBrownOctaneOverdrive]

None that I have been able to notice. The only thing that I have noticed is the popping sound that apparently just happens with these cars... IPD sells some axle bolts that are supposed to resolve that popping noise when starting from a stop.

[@darrenaston1776]

@@BrandonBrownOctaneOverdrive ok cool. Both mine are gone so need to do them soon. Thanks for reply

[@Gelis8]

@@BrandonBrownOctaneOverdrive Regarding to the noise, i don't know if you use a torquewrench for the centrumbolt, spec. 35 Nm + 90°, new bolt is recommended. And you need to put grease on the axelsplines in the hubend, oil don't help This two actions should elemenate the poppingsnoise.

[@no0neX]

@@Gelis8 i did notice this popping sound sometimes too, i thought its the springs or spring mounts.

[@BDawgoftheNorth]

That's not the recommended lifting point! 😆 the center of the front portion of the subframe?

[@BrandonBrownOctaneOverdrive]

But in all reality you totally can. May not be recommended, they also recommend against modifying your car in any way.

[@herkko61]

It *looked* so easy.

[@tmolne117]

I love those wheels. What is the model on those?

[@BrandonBrownOctaneOverdrive]

These are Volvo wheels, They call them "Thor".

7:50 without it the grease would go outside, and water and dirt would get inside ;)

Automatic or manual transmission ?

This is the Automatic AW55-50LE 5 speed made by Asin.

[@bendelandesful]

@@BrandonBrownOctaneOverdrive OK Thanks ! I was just wondering if there is something special to pay attention to for auto transmission, but it seems to be exactly the same as for manual. I've got a aw50-42 LE 4 speed.
