Volvo: No horn/rumbling brakes (cont.), brake pads and rotors, rear brakes
QuestionHi Jimmy-
Real quick follow-up:
The 1995 850 horn that doesn't work - you answered "The problem with the horn may be in the steering wheel. You will have to replace it." IPD sells a horn repair kit (VS870K). Is this a possible alternative to replacing the steering wheel?
I asked about getting rumbling when braking from higher speeds. Rear brakes and rotors were just installed. Your answer: "Check to see what type of brake pads and rotors were used. Sometimes, the cheaper aftermarket brakes will do that." I did use the cheaper ones. Is there any safety issue with continuing to drive on these for now?
Again, I really appreciate all your help.
AnswerHey Phil! The horn repair kit may work. Iti s hit and miss. It can't hurt to try it since i is cheaper than a new wheel.
I would suggest upgrading the brakes to Volvo original or OEM eqivalent. You will find better braking all around. Cheaper is not always better.
