Hmmm... I had the squeaky wheel syndrome early on in my 850 days. Turned out there's a rubber boot where the [insert proper name of steering shaft here] goes through the firewall, and this wasn't seated properly...

...but I've never noticed a significant difference between the steering tightness in the '97 850, '99 V70R, or '99 C70. (It's been the '90 780 that feels significantly different.) Overall the V70R has the best steering feel, but that really seems to be more about the better suspension and minimal body roll than anything else.
