Hi folks,
My XC90 T8 has started making a loud noise from the rear passenger side. It sounds like something is resonating during acceleration, regardless of speed. Additionally, I feel resistance in the tires when I release the pedal, even without applying the brakes.
Audio file is attached here.
Worn wheel bearing is a possibility
How many thousand miles on the car?
I did some troubleshooting by jacking up the car and rotating all the tyres. I didn’t find any play or noise in any of them, so it seems the wheel bearings are likely fine.
Additionally, when I drive the car on a slope without engaging the gear (in neutral), there’s no noise. However, as soon as I put the car in drive mode and move it forward, I start hearing the sound.
