Turning Circle very poor - it's an S60. Live with it!


Only if you have large alloy wheels(17"-) with stops on the rack that limit your lock.
(police complain about turning circle(they have 18" wheels even worse than 17")

My lwb sprinter has a smaller turning circle-lol

solution-get smaller wheels take stops of rack

2003 S60 R

I found the front offside bolt to be not exactly loose, but defintely not torqued to the quoted 50NM. After removal, cleaning, re-loctiting and torquing to the correct amount, the 'clunk' has dissapeared.

Very satisfying, and a very cheap fix!

There's no stops on my 17" and the turning circle's not much better with 16" rims!
