1. When going around roundabouts or long corners I get a slight movement in the steering, best way i can describe this is a pulling back sensation by a fraction of the steering as if its pulling out of your hands small movement, this may be a volvo things but maybe you have some advice. If i am slower and smoother and think more about the approach in my driving its not as bad but if i am at speed it is quite a sensation Freaked me when i first went for it. ( as I say new to volvo may be the 4 x4 or me)

2. When braking I have a slight pull to the right, however again if i pre think my braking and give myself a great distance the pull does not come into effect. Its a strange one feels like the car moves to the centre of the road yet i feel no movement within the steering.

This said I am loving my new volvo experience.

Many Thanks in advance for viewing my post.

An intenal fault in the steering rack gives this jerky steering sensation .
The brake pull in a case i had was a volvo wishbone on one side and a non genuine one on the other side ! The rubber bushes had a huge difference in the amount they flexed .
