The car tends to wander about on the road, and needs constant correction, but the corrections aren't consistent.
Moving the steering wheel clockwise and anti-clockwise seems to only suggest the car should turn and it decides if it wants to and so on.
I'm going to check the steering box, and replace the rubber doughnut thing - anyone know the best place to order parts for the old cars in the UK?
In addition - can the rubber be replaced by a UJ, and/or the box replaced with a more modern rack?
Many thanks!

Brookhouse Volvo have most parts, Amazon cars are another source but best to phone them as the web sites a shocker
