Hi - I'm re-posting this since I have more information.

My 1995 T-5R still pulls to the right, even though the dealer says the alignment is "perfect." I found an identical complaint in in the archives:

"1996 850 non-turbo[ALL/1998] posted by Albert Wong on Monday, 8 December

1997, at 10:34 a.m. "

and wondered if anyone 1) knows how to contact Albert, and 2) if anyone remembers if/how he fixed it. I have copied the text from his message after mine if anyone wants to read it. There were lots of replies (and an excellent discussion about what means what) but not how to solve the problem.

Thanks again for your time,

Haakon

"The car's alignment is pulling to the right (passenger side). I went to Firestone for a lifetime alignment work. This is after I asked the Volvo dealer about their alignment warrantee...they don't offer any, not even one month warrantee. I drove the car after Firestone's alignment, it was still pulling to the right. I took the car back to Firestone, they said they had align whatever is adjustable as per the Volvo spec. Part of the wheel can only be factory aligned. They suggested that I should check the frame, may be it is not straight(?). "

"I took the car to the Volvo dealer for them to align. After the alignment, they told me the car will still pull to the right because I have different tires.

Since then, I change both front tires to Bridgestone tires. The rear tires are of the same size but different brands. They still have a lot of treads left and I hate to change them. The car is still pulling right and I doubt if this is a tire problem. The pull is slight but I have to keep the steering wheel at about 5 to 10 degree counter clockwise in order to stay in my lane. It was like that since I bought it from the dealer. "

"After I change the tires, I went back to Firestone (using the lifetime alignment service). They still cannot make the car run straight. They told me to check with a frame shop. I went to a frame shop, they told me they are very busy and it will cost me over 150 dollars just to put the car on their machine to perform the checking.....I don't know if I am running in circle? "
