recurrent wheel alignment problems? V70-XC70

posted by  someone claiming to be raymondj on  Tue Sep 23 02:49 CST 2003 [RELATED]

Someone on this board some time ago discribed a problem with V70's where they need alignments over and over again and a comment was made about there being some loose bolts somewhere in the frame. If these bolts were not tightened down that re-alignments would be necessary. Does anyone have any info on this. Thank you.

    recurrent wheel alignment problems? V70-XC70

    My car (01 V70 T5) has experienced frequent sloppiness in front due to loose stabilizer links. This has happened at least 6 times (50k on car) and required alignment each time. Also, tire wear has been extreme. What I discovered when in the shop the last time is that there are bushings as part of that gear (I am sorry I cannot describe better) that wear and become very loose, causing the stabilizer links to fail. The nechanic was able to stick the end of a screwdriver in the bushing and wiggle it around, causing the wheel to wobble. Since the bushings and stabilizer ends were replaced together on the last visit 2 months ago, things have been fine. Best wishes.
