2006 XC90 V8 Steering Wheel Vibration/Noise
My xc90 V8 (2006) has a vibration/knocking type noise coming through the steering wheel when turning it back and and forth when the vehicle is stationary. It is particularly bad when I was turning the steering wheel when the wheels were on snow or a slippery type surface (such as wet smooth bricks or tiles) - the vibration/noise becomes quite pronounced. The vibration/knocking noise is also present when turning at slow speeds.
The Volvo dealer told me that this is normal for the vehicle and it is due to play in the steering rack. I have owned several Volvos and have never experienced same before.
Any thoughts?
Thanks.
