    V70 Handling

    I'm starting a new thread on this cos it looks like the other one's gone WAAAAAAAY off topic!

    Before throwing bits at a car to try and mend it please try to find what components require replacement. It will save money in the long run . . .

    This is my only sensible comment in the previous 'pit of stupidity and stubborn ignorance' thread:

    These are the bits I replaced, separately and the reasons why I thought they were worn:

    Track rods and track rod ends - why? Slight clunk on full lock and a bit of steering play.
    Then... wishbone bushes - why? Excessive torque steer and an MOT advisory
    Then... Drop links - why? Loud clonking over speed ramps
    Then... New dampers all round - why? 145,000 miles and a feeling a bit baggy.
    Then... Front wheel bearings - why? Whirring noise at speed on the motorway
