V70 Steering: - Rubbing/Grinding sound coming from steering wheel.

Volvo V70 NewBee · Dec 7th, 2017, 19:02

Hi I am a new member and need some advice.
I have just had the rear main oil seal replaced on my Automatic 2003 V70 D5 SE. Whilst driving it home there is a rubbing/grinding sound coming from the steering wheel when turning corners. Do you think something has been over tightened during the repair?
Has anyone else encountered this problem???

Thanks for that. I will have to take it back. Bummer as it's an 80 mile round trip.

Agree with the others here...it needs to be taken back.
It's possible, IIRC, in removing the box to do the rear main oil seal, that they've dropped the sub-frame a bit and strained the steering joint if they haven't released it prior to undertaking the work?
