Volvo 240/260 Propeller shaft

Vibrations that increase with speed and a metallic rattle under throttle often come from worn U-joints or a tired center support bearing on the propeller shaft. On the 240/260 several versions exist, and the dimension determines what fits – the slimmer 44.5 mm shaft shared with the earlier design differs from the heavier type 1310 (50.8 mm), and the shafts are further divided into several type variants.

This category covers more versions – see also the drawing for Volvo 240/260 1979-84 · Propeller shaft Volvo 240 (Type 03 alt 1)
