I just replaced the struts, control arms, sway bar links and spring seats in my 98 S70. I had it aligned and it is now driving straight. One weird thing though...the front tires almost look like they are pointing in...like the tops of the tires are farther out than the bottom. I think it is either a negative or positive camber...either way, a camber issue. This could also be due to the outsides of the tires being worn (which is what led me to do all this work).

I've read that there is no camber adjustment on these models...but I just read in another forum post that when you install the struts, you shouldn't torque the lower bolt until the weight is put on the suspension so that the steering knuckle sets properly.

I torqued mine while it was still up in the air. Anyone know if this can cause an issue?

No camber adjustment.

How do you put weight on the steering knuckle if there is no wheel on the car?

Did you check the wheel bearings for play?
