Hi there,

Maybe I'm just being paranoid. But this winter I installed new u-joints and both PDS bearings and had the upper gearbox rebuilt professionally. I have no noises (just the smooth running small block engine) from -5 to 1 trim on the guage. When trimmed passed 2 the outdrive seems to make a different noise... Not a bad noise but you can hear more of low toned spinning noise( I know, hard to explain) The normal trim range for the SP is -5 to 12 while underway. This is my first volvo and just wondering if this is normal.

So this is not normal? Since those parts are brand spanking new
