Funnily enough I looked at that video earlier. Looks good. I also watched this one which seems pretty decent too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Op6vqOlutTE |

Many thanks to all of you for your help.
I changed the steering fluid and flushed the system last night, and what a difference it's made. Saved me best part of £450! Steering is still a bit twitchy/notchy, particularly just off centre, but far better than it was, and I can actually turn the wheel at low speeds now! If anyone has a fix for twitchy/notchy steering then I'd be most appreciative. That and the multitude of other faults popping up in the display, which I'll be posting questions about soon. |

There is an adjustment on the rack that can be made to take up some slack... https://www.volvoforums.org.uk/showthread.php?t=121019 `Check tyre pressures and tread, low tread can make a large cars steering feel crap, also, get 4 wheel tracking done. After that, its time to check the tie rods, etc etc. Last edited by colinbos; Apr 18th, 2018 at 11:35. |

To check the lower coupler, see this video at 6:10 . Be very careful with that bolt, see the video description how to torque it
