I have a '93 940 Turbo Wagon. I just replaced all the bushings in the front end, the ball joints, struts, rotors, pads, and slide pins.
The car drives and brakes like brand new... but while braking on rutted, uneven roads, it pulls severely to either the left or right depending on the ruts. I'm pretty sure it's a result of the wide tires (205/55-16 on stock Volvo turbo wheels) These ARE the recommended size tires for these rims. Has anyone else experienced this phenomenon? Or do you have any further thoughts on the diagnosis?
