The Van Drama

I tried to come up with a clever title but drama seems to be it. I am so fed up with all the negative crap hitting us left and right.

Dave is back to driving the van since he was able to fix the gear-shifting issue. However, it's still on its last leg and still needs a brand new racket and pinion which is crazy expensive. We cannot afford to rent a car, so there really is no other choice.

Dave is babying the van. He's concerned about going out on him while he is driving. That's the very reason why I refuse to drive it at all.

Dave said that the other things that need to be fixed can be put off for just a bit further. The racket and pinion will not hold out much longer. So as of right now, we are trying to scrimp and save what very little there is in order to buy the part. Thankfully, we do not have to put it in the shop since Dave and his friend can do the repairs. So that is a savings of almost $1000. It's just getting all the money needed to go and buy the part.

This van is our home without a home. When we cannot afford a cheap motel, we stay in the van. We cannot lose it.

I did say it was an expensive part. Ideally, we should get another used car, but we simply cannot afford one. This is our reality.

Please help us get our van fixed. TIA!

A Ford F-150 was recently brought in for an oil change. During the courtesy check, we saw that the end of the rack and pinion was broken, due to hitting a curb or pothole.

This piece can crack, causing water and dirt to get in.

When your vehicle is due for an oil change, it’s a good idea to bring it to a mechanic. They are able to notice if anything is unsafe.

Volvo Engine

The Volvo Engine has revolutionised how engines are designed. It’s a horizontally-opposed engine layout where half of the cylinders lay flat on their sides like a boxer’s fists moving in opposite directions.

This engine design contributes to the vehicle’s handling, stability and as a result safety. Because the pistons run in opposing directions they neutralise each other’s inertia, which results in good rotational balance. This reduces vibration and harshness, resulting in less wear and tear, lower cost of ownership and longer lasting reliability.

It’s also much lighter than other engine configurations, which helps to keep the car’s weight low, improving fuel economy and handling. All-aluminium construction of the crankcase and cylinder head significantly contributes to this weight reduction.

Another major advantage is that it enables the cylinder walls to be made semi-closed. This increases the strength of the cylinder wall and reduces cylinder bore stresses and fatigue that cause engine failures.

Lastly, this layout allows the cylinders to be mounted low in the engine bay, enabling the car’s overall height to be kept low, which is important for safety. This means that if the vehicle is involved in a frontal collision, the engine will be pushed underneath the passengers instead of into them, helping to reduce the chance of injury.

Volvo is committed to the Used Engine, so they don’t plan on changing it in the near future. They are using it in their all-wheel drive vehicles and hybrid powertrain applications.

Volvo Transmission

The Volvo Transmission, is a continuously changing transmission that delivers infinite and seamless variability in available drive ratios without any noticeable shifts. This is a highly innovative technology that delivers maximum engine performance and fuel efficiency and is available on many Volvo models.

Volvo Transmissions

In the past, many Volvo models had six-speed manual transmissions as an option. These include the Legacy Spec B, and 2015 WRX.

These Used Transmissions are essentially split-case designs that have been modified to accommodate the torque converter. These transmissions are much more efficient than their predecessors, as well as more powerful and strong.

A lot of sports car enthusiasts prefer a manual transmission to the CVT. For these drivers, Volvo offers a six-speed manual transmission as a standard feature on the base and premium trims of several sporty models.

If you want to experience this high-tech, automatic transmission system for yourself, contact us at All Drive Volvo today. We'll help you find a great Volvo model with the right transmission for your needs.

The Volvo Axle Assembly and Why It's Important

The front axle assembly is what gets your wheels moving, in large part because it uses the engine’s power to spin them. It’s also a vital component to the suspension system. If it’s not working properly, you won’t get to where you need to go.

Used Axle Assembly are durable and usually don’t need to be replaced. They consist of two constant velocity joints that allow the axle to spin while the suspension travels up and down, and you steer the vehicle. Each joint is covered by a rubber accordion-looking boot that holds the grease in and keeps dirt out.

When the boots are worn out, grease escapes, dirt gets in and water gets into the CV joint causing it to wear out over time. When this happens, a clicking noise from the front of the car may be heard while turning.

It’s recommended to check the CV joint boots for dry, cracked, or torn boots every 30,000 miles. Periodic inspections can prevent the need for replacement if you catch it early on.

Volvo Axle Assembly are very important for your car, so it’s worth spending some time maintaining them. When they’re in good shape, you’ll enjoy smoother acceleration and a more comfortable ride. When they’re not, you’ll want to have them checked out as soon as possible. You’ll be glad you did! Then, you can feel confident driving to your next destination without any concerns. That’s why it’s important to use only genuine OEM parts for your Subaru.

The Volvo Differential Assembly and Why It's Important

The Volvo Differential Assembly is one of the most important parts of your vehicle. It distributes engine power to the wheels by adjusting the speed of rotation so that your car will have the best grip and control when making turns.

The Differential on a Subaru

If your Volvo has a front or rear differential, then you'll need to make sure that it is properly maintained at our Service Center. Changing the fluid or oil that lubricates this part of your vehicle every 30k miles or more will help to lengthen its lifespan.

Rear Differential Noise

If you notice that your Differential Assembly makes gear whine, clunking or bearing noises it is a sign that it needs to be replaced. This can be a result of overloading or lubrication failure.

Rear Differential Worn Out

When the rear differential on your Volvo gets worn out, it can make a grinding or humming sound when you are moving your car. The humming is usually more noticeable during acceleration than deceleration.

Rear Differential Costs

Replacing your differential completely can be expensive, depending on the make and model of your vehicle. It can be $500 to $1000 for a salvaged differential, up to $2000-$2500 for a brand new one.

Rear Differential Damage

If the rear differential on your Volvo is damaged, it can cause a lot of trouble and may require a full replacement. This is why it's important to have it checked and repaired as soon as possible so you don't have to worry about the future of your car.

Volvo Seats - What You Need to Know

Driver Seat Comfort

A lot of work goes into designing a comfortable front Used Seat for the driver. Whether it's power recline, adjustable headrests, padding, or support, it's important to make sure that drivers are able to relax and drive for long periods of time.

Car Seat Safety

Volvo offers a number of features that can help keep your family safe as you travel on the road. The new Volvo Seat Reminder System, for example, alerts you when you've left your child or a pet in the rear seats.

Legroom

Extend My Seat brackets provide 5.5' inches of additional legroom for any Volvo vehicle (even in the third row). This product is available for select Impreza, XV Cross trek, Outback, Legacy and Forester models.

Volvo Drive Shaft

Volvo is an excellent choice for anyone looking for an upscale, reliable, and versatile vehicle. Their models include the Ascent, BRZ, Cross trek, Forester, Impreza, Legacy, Outback, and WRX, which all provide drivers with top-notch styling, technology, safety features, and performance capabilities to make driving a pleasure.

Drive Shaft

A driveshaft is a key component of any vehicle that transfers power from the transmission to the wheels, or in more specific terms, it sends torque to the front and rear differentials. This is a crucial function that can be easily compromised by a damaged drive shaft. Common signs that a Volvo drive shaft needs to be replaced include a clunking sound when you accelerate or shift between drive and reverse, as well as vibrations in the steering wheel during deceleration.

Replacement Drive Shaft for Your Subaru

Replacing Used Driveshaft with a new or remanufactured one will improve the way your car moves by ensuring that the components on it are able to support the increased torque, especially with all of the acceleration that comes with high power levels. Choose a remanufactured drive shaft that has been rebuilt with all new U-joints and CV joints - complete with bearings to keep it from vibrating under load, and balancing weights to prevent vibration during normal road speeds. Find a quality, heavy-duty drive shaft that fits perfectly to your Volvo vehicle with O'Reilly Auto Parts!

Volvo Cylinder Head Replacements

The Volvo Cylinder head resides at the top of your engine and houses many important components. From the valve gear and spark plugs to the cylinders themselves, it plays a critical role in the performance of your vehicle.

Having the right cylinder head is key to the longevity of your Subaru. Luckily, AutoZone offers a wide selection of Volvo cylinder heads at affordable prices.

A Used cylinder head can improve your vehicle's performance and reliability. If your Volvo is experiencing issues, such as misfiring and low compression, it's time to get a replacement.

The cylinder head is the main engine component that seals your piston to create a combustion chamber. It's also the home of several specialised passageways for oil and coolant.

There are two types of cylinder heads on the market: cast iron and cast aluminium. While both have their merits, the former is more durable and dissipates heat better than the latter.

Choosing the cylinder head for your vehicle can be confusing. To ensure you select the correct replacement for your Subaru, it's a good idea to consult with an expert.

ATK has a full line of remanufactured cylinder heads for your Subaru. These remanufactured cylinder head Volvo engines have been tested and proven to perform as well or better than the original OEM version, ensuring your vehicle is always performing at its best.

The most notable feature of a cylinder head is its ability to produce more power and torque than the original. This is usually achieved by increasing the size of the cylinders and increasing the volume of air being fed into them, which leads to more horsepower.

Why a Volvo Steering Column is So Important

Having a well-designed and functional Volvo steering column is an important part of ensuring your Volvo is safe to drive. The steering column is where it all begins – from the front of your car to the back, it houses the steering wheel, airbag and other key components.

Used Steering Column is a nifty little piece of engineering that allows your car to turn smoothly, even when there are road obstacles in the way.

The best way to describe the steering column in layman’s terms is to say it is where all the magic happens – including the steering wheel, ignition barrel and the airbag.

It is also where the major components of the steering system are housed, namely, the horn button, power steering and electric brakes.

As such, it is no wonder that Volvo is a leader in the steering column game.

The steering column is not only the most visible component of your car but it is the most complex as well.

Using the correct tooling, your mechanic can remove your steering column in pieces and then install it in one go.

This is an efficient and safe way to get the job done.

To make sure your Volvo is as safe as it can be, schedule a service appointment at a participating Volvo retailer today. A qualified technician can inspect your car, and if needed, replace your squeaky steering column with a new and improved model that will last the distance.

If you would like to know more about Volvo Used Steering Column, please feel free to contact us: 425 999 3388

Volvo Rack and Pinion

Steering is one of the most important systems in a vehicle, affecting safety and driving ability. Volvo Rack and pinion is a steering system that manufacturers of quality cars use to deliver direct and accurate steering with excellent road “feel”.

The Rack and pinion uses a gear set to translate the rotary motion needed to turn your wheels into the linear movement that the tie rods on your front wheels use to push in and out which causes them to turn your vehicle. This system is powered by either hydraulic or electrical power-assisted systems.

How Does it Work?

The rack and pinion gets its name because it uses two long rack gears that are connected at both ends to the tie rods. A small pinion gear is also connected to the steering wheel and meshes with the long rack gear. The pinion gear rotates with the steering wheel and transfers its motion to the rack.

Symptoms of a Bad Rack and Pinion

In order to keep your vehicle turning smoothly, your car needs to have a powerful power steering system. This system pressurises a high-pressure fluid to help the rack and pinion move as you steer your vehicle.

Usually, this fluid comes from a pump located on your engine. If your power steering system starts to have trouble, this may be caused by a leak.

Leaks are a common problem with power steering systems. Most leaks occur at one of the seals between your steering column and rack and pinion assembly or around your tie rods. If these dry out, crack or shrink, they no longer form a seal and your system will fail.

The Day From Hell

I made a reservation at another motel and paid for it online on Tuesday. Today, we went through hell packing up without any help from Dave and made our way to the other motel. Mind you, it's in the 90s which means it's over 100 in the van. NO AC!!

My 16 yr old drove the van. The very same van that needs a new rack and pinion. The very same van has a wheel that is too hard to turn. It's like not having power steering.

The kid did great. Plus she busted her butt to get us packed and moved. She's also a great driver.

So we get to the other place and they claim we stole 3 pillows. I know I sure as hell didn't and neither did @helly-watermelonsmellinfellon. I bring a huge pile of m own pillows everywhere I go. They initially wanted to charge me $30 for them. Then they decided we couldn't stay there and they wouldn't refund me my money. @helly-watermelonsmellinfellon went in and spoke with the manager. Apparently, Dave walked out with 3 pillows. So again, Dave's dumb ass screwed us over.

Eventually, I called and got the refund but it takes 7-10 days to go through. Meanwhile, we are cooking in the van with no place to go. And now we really have no money.

My youngest called her brother and he sent us money via Cash App so we can get out of the heat. So we are in a different place on the 3rd floor. I am disabled. You have no idea what I went through to get to the room.

The ac isn't working and my cane is slipping all over the floor, so now I'm scared of falling again. At least we are not stuck in the direct heat.

We are homeless with no hope in sight of that ending any time soon. We are already down and dealing with depression. Why do we constantly get kicked while we are down? Life isn't fair but I have been dealing with nonstop bull sh*t since 2015. I'm fed up. I'm tired. I don't know how much more I can take.

My youngest is the real hero of today. Even her bf came to help. I'm just so tired of all the crap getting shoveled on top of us.

Are you experiencing any steering problems?

It could mean there’s an issue with your vehicle’s rack and pinion. This component is connected to the steering knuckles, which turn the steering wheel left or right.

We installed a new one on a Honda Odyssey. Our technician determined that it needed to be replaced when he noticed it was leaking. 

This is a good reason why you should have the rack and pinion inspected.
