Power Steering Shudder S70 1998

I had a problem similar to this about a year and half ago. What happened was that I was losing power steering.

try this out:
make your wheel centered, i.e. wheels going straight.
Next turn your wheel all the way to the left or right and see how many turns it takes.
For the S70 I believe it is around 2 to 2 1/2 till it stops, if your car goes more than that and you feel the shudder you are most likely losing power steering and bring it to a volvo dealership.

If that doesn't seem to be the problem bring it in anyways.
If you do lose power steering, it would not be a good thing especially when on the highway.

Hope this helps. Be safe, not sorry.
