Default Feels unruly on raod

My v60 d5 feels bit unruly ie steering picks up tiny bumps n ruts n constant correction of wheel required. The wife even said what was that when overtaking and wheel visibly tugged to right. I have good tyres all level tread full mot trackingchecked . Owt else it could be just doesn't feel right. Wimorrison loving me getting a volvolvo n keeping this volvo forum going. What's the bet I get a cheesy sarcastic bell end of a comment that to be honest is putting us younguns off the vulva brand lol or prob not now I mentioned it xxxx

Consistently posting observations about the car which are ill described and aren't substansive creates the form of response that is engendered by your posts.

BTW, if you look here http://support.volvocars.com/uk/cars/Pages/manuals.aspx you will find out how to use the car and its features.

Experiment with tyre pressures within the manufacturers ranges.

Also have you any experience driving a vehicle with the same level of torque and drive configuration?

Have you had a full 4 wheel alignment done on a hunter machine, mine always comes off one of those like a new car if it's been a while. Usually most effective after fitting new boots, I get them done at the same time..
