Hello All

I habe a 98 S70 with 138000 miles.

I have replaced the front struts and rear shock, the brakes and rotors are in perfect shape, and have a different set of tires and rims on it right now.

This is the problem.

When turnning or braking my steering vibrates sometimes lightly and sometimes more heavily. It is NOT the alignment, balancing or the brakes i have had them checked throughly!!!

My volvo mechanic tells me it could be the steering rack as he can feel a little play in the rack if he moves the tires side to side, he also suggests replacing the front ball joints as i have been hearing a "clunking" noise from the front.

Should i replace the ball joints first to see if the steering vibration goes away?

The vibration is inferequent, it comes and goes...............

Any and all suggestions would be appreciated.
