Hi, I'm french so I hope you'll understand my problem and give me solution :)
I recently bought a P2 S80 (2001), it's a 2.4 170 HP, before I had a S60 so i know that P2 Volvos have common suspension issues, but in this case I don't know where it comes from.
I hear squeaking from the front suspension on bad roads but also on speed bumps. I ear the same noise when I turn the wheels at low speed.
I already changed the strut mounts on both sides 'cause it was rattling.
Despite of that I don't ear any noise in the car, I only ear it when I roll down the window.

Thanks for your help in advance.

Thank for your reply
The control arm is the kind of "triangle" at the lower part of the suspension ?
I've also noticed that it's only skeaking after few kilemeters driving, not when the car is cold. I've tried pushing on car and turning the steering when it's stopped and it doesn't make ANY noise 🙄

The cause of the noise was the lower ball joint. I think that it was defective from the factory as it was only 6 months old. There was a tiny hole in the rubber seal where the grease had come out. The ball joint was completely dry inside. Luckily the parts store gave me a replacement part for no cost.
