Torque steer
Evening folks, not long had the V60 B5 bought from volvo selekt, had a few issues and a couple still not resolved, Torque steer , wow not seen something like that since the 80s in a cherry turbo, doesn't seem right, also vibration around 75 ish..not the wheel balancing.
Have queried the car doing 20k in a year then seemed to do only 100miles the following, something doesn't sit right with me.. Anyone same experiences.. Thank you |

Do you get the same vibration feel stronger when braking lightly or heavily at high speed? |

Hi, thanks for the reply, one is original michelin other unknown brand, doesn't happen while braking, seems to come and go sometimes hardly noticeable but others noticeable but always around 75 ish... its odd. I know warped discs etc or wheel balancing but feels different.. obviously volvo saying it's fine.

I would still find an independent tyre depot and ask them to check the balancing - if you have a STS (Stapleton's) depot somewhere near you they have a machine that balances at high speed, most tyre machines only balance at the equivalent of 65mph, STS go to something like 90.
I had a wheel on my last V60 that would always cause a motorway speed vibration on the front end but never on the back, everywhere said it was perfectly balanced, but it was found to be very slightly out of true on the right machine. 20k then 100 miles only makes sense if the dealer had it in stock a long time, but that would also point to an out of shape tyre that needs careful balancing if it's sat still for months on end.

If you were willing, you could rotate front wheels to the rear to test if anything changes, (easier with two trolley jacks) |

Any idea on the torque steer? Can crappy tyres cause this? If didn't hold the starting it would pull across the road.. you feel it pulling to the R but when lift off sits back down.. Really like the car but seriously thinking of returning and changing for a T6 or Xc60 |

Possibly at this point, request a drive in another to see how it feels to you 🙂 |

You have one grippy tyre fighting one not so grippy, the result is going to be what you are experiencing. Ideally you need the same tyres all round and at least matching tyres on each axle.
