steering feels odd
Hi, my 06 s40 has what a describe as a strange feeling to the steering when driving. If i drive down a road where the surface is a little rough (like bits of tarmac missing but not potholes) then the steering feels 'sensitive' it doesn't seem to pull one way or other but just like a little tug either way, it's not all the time just now and again. on odd occasions it will try to drift one way like the tracking was out but on the same road on another day it doesn't do it. I change the suspension arms back in feb for the MOT as one bush was shot, so i changed both as the other was going. But the car still does this 'odd' thing. any ideas please

Did you get an alignment done after you changed the arms? If not, best have it checked and adjusted if needed.

Proper alignment is VITAL on these platforms, I'd recommend finding a place with a 'Hunters' 4-wheel alignment machine.
Good alignment can transform these cars from feeling horrid to really planted. Also check tyre pressures!!
