There was an open thread on March 2003 about "Heavy Steering" I tried to reply to but thread must be closed. Anyway, my 98 S70 (93k), as far as I can remember back has always been difficult to steer. Tires @ max pressure, plenty of power steering fluid. Still hard. In fact, I just had a new (rebuilt) steering rack put on due to a leak and was hoping to get some smoother steering. No luck. My mechanic offered to let me drive his 99' V70 to check the difference in steering. I pulled out onto the street with it and immediately found myself using one hand to steer (with my palm), something I NEVER can do with mine. My mechanic wants to check the power steering pressure (but needs to borrow a gauge). I really don't want to spend a lot of money for smoother steering, but I could spend a bit if I had some encouraging news from anyone out there on this problem?
thanx.
