'Wheel Stops' or 'Ball Joints?' V70-XC70 1999

Am trying to finalize buying that seems in good enough shape, with 39k, from a dealer. My concern is that with hard left or hard right turning (ex: u-turning) I get a groaning/rubbing sounding. The dealer says it's the wheel stops, and that this is a classic design flaw and nothing to worry about. I'm concerned the ball joints are going. Is this a classic issue, and something to stop me from buying this particular V70? Please help, I need to know by tomorrow to buy or die.
