Steering Problems/ABS S70 2000

I have an intermittent ABS fault light. Fault code was diagnosed and the connectors cleaned and re-attached. The light came on again (intermittently) after 3 days of driving (100km/day). Guess its time for me to get ready to part with my money!!! And maybe expect the same after another five years for the ABS (and the EMS too)!!!

Yesterday I also came to realise that the steering was slightli heavy while manoeuvering left corners. The right sweeping corners are ok. The car, I felt, somewhat unstable too while doing the left. The condition became more obviuous to me recently. In the past I had though it was my imagination. Though I had not had any alignment problems while driving, I took in to the tyre shop to inspect the condition of the tyres. They were ok and no uneven wear seen. I called-up the workshop and I was told that some "steering bushing/stopper" could be worn off and was told to bring the car for inspection.

The above steering problem may not be specific to either Volvos or S70, but a general car problem. However, thought I'd ask the forum for some comments.

Another problem. Whereever I am at the basement care park, going down the ramps to the lower floors, I need to make almost full turns to my steering wheel. I can hear the tyres rubbing against the car.

Can anyone please share their experiences with me? Thanks.
