Hello all,

I have a 2007 XC90. I recently took this onto a fire road in eastern Washington and was surprised how poorly it handled it. The steering shook at speeds over 5 to 8 mph. I have recently replaced all steering components and had the vehicle aligned. My old Cherokee would have traversed the same road at 40MPH+ without issue.

I am wondering if this is a strut, shock issue, or something else. It has 48K miles on it, it is a V8 AWD. The handling on the road seems great. I was so surprised that a mild fire road basically brought it to a literal crawl.

Thoughts? Suggestions?
