Power Steering
My XC90 T6 2.9L has a steering that feels a bit too light. Does anyone here wish it is firmer? Is there a way to make it tighter?
My bro-in-law said his T5 2.5L feels firmer after he drove mine. |

Light steering
I also have a T6 - with speed-sensitive steering. I agree that, at speed, the steering does feel light and I find myself correcting for 'wander'. It's great though at low to intermediate speeds which unfortunately is where most of my driving takes place!
I'd also be interested if anyone has any info on whether it can be firmed up. I'll talk to my dealer next time I take it in but hopefully that won't be for a long time. John R

Thanks Rooster...maybe I don't drive fast enough to feel it firming up
And JsR... at least One person has agreed that it needs firming to remove the need to "correct the wander" (good description!) and feeling of insecurity. I hope Volvo people in Sweden reads this and come up with an answer. Btw... does anybody know if they browse feedbacks in worldwide forums? It'll be a pity if they don't. |
