Steering self-centres - it's meant to do that. Do you mean something different?

The pull is quite strong, especially when accelerating.
If the steering wheel is pulling to the centre, then presumably you have the steering wheel turned. Torque steer (a problem that front wheel drive cars suffer from) will try to turn the steering wheel a little as you accelerate, so if you are steering to one side it may tend to pull the wheel towards the centre. But it would have the opposite effect if you are steering the other way, and pull it further over. And Volvos aren't noted for being particularly sensitive to torque steer.
