Well, I sold my previous 850 turbo to buy my garage kept female owned 850 Turbo, but have a strange problem. When going very slowly (pulling out of a parking space) to the right, there is a creeking sound, and the wheel will pull itself over to the right. If you are driving normally taking a turn at any higher speed it is fine. The tire is worn, so I'm going to replace it. I was thinking alignment problem, making the tire grab harder, but it drives fine down the road. Any ideas?

 

Mine was doing the exact same thing. Kind of like the tire is tripping right? Well now, after new tires and alignment, it does not do it anymore.

 

Ya, tripping would be a good way to describe it, strange grabbing of the tire, the lady only drove it in the summer, and that right front tire is pretty low on tread (Dunlop Sport W10's), so I am going to replace the tires, get an alignment and hope for the best. Just making sure it wasn't rack related.

 

yes , get the alignement done. You may still notice the "tripping" if you are slowly turning and there is sand or dirt on the road.

 

Also for the creeking Lube the steering stops.

 

I am reading alot about the Steering Stops, but I have yet to have anyone explain where they are, how to lube them, and if this job can be done by myself.

Does anyone have a photo of the steering stops on a '01 S60?

Thanks!

Not your specific car, but I'd expect them to be similar.
