Steering Wheel Problem
One day the steering wheel on my 2003 Volvo s40 became really hard to turn and began to squeak. I also began to notice little cylinder shaped pieces of metal on the mat under the steering wheel. (I’m guessing they’re falling from something inside the steering wheel). Does anyone know what it could be?

I've yet to have to do much in that area, but it sure sounds like a roller bearing has failed (the bearings in a roller bearing are small, silver cylinders). I'm betting that if you contort yourself enough to be able to look up at the steering column (after removing the dash panels underneath the driver's side dashboard), you'll see some "unusual" play in the column as you crank it back and forth, and that the source of those rollers will be obvious.
