Front end noises S80 2000

posted by  someone claiming to be bob on  Wed Mar 28 17:14 CST 2001 [RELATED]

I am beginning to experience front end noise on my 2000 S80 with 18,000 miles. I hear a rattle/creak something like a loose shock when I go over moderate bumps at low speed. Also, I hear similar noise turning steering wheel to right at very low speed or at dead stop. This noise sounds more like it originates at the base of the steering wheel... with less rattle and more like a creak/groan/rub. Finally, I'm noticing that car drifts to left on the highway and requires enough back pressure on steering wheel to be uncomfortable.

Tire pressure (17" wheels) is fine. Tires have been rotated for 2nd time. Drifting to left happened when I first took delivery and cause was said to be rear wheel misalignment. Alignment cured the problem before but now it has returned.

Anyone care to diagnose? Suggestions? Thanks.
