New here, so excuse my lack of experience ... I have a 2002 S60 that I purchased used (my 4th Volvo). 63K miles, been driving fine, had it checked over and aligned by a dealer when I purchased it. Now I'm getting a clunking noise near the front left tire during and following a hard right turn. Once I straighten out, it goes away. Any ideas??? Thanks much.

Thanks for the quick reply - $, $$, or $$$?

 

The tire may also be rubbing the inner fender. Replace the steering stops.

 

Turns out it was the steering stops, which they said were "dry." On my way to pick it up now. Thanks much!

 

Almost ready to buy my first car - an R. Is there any amount of rubbing that could be considered "normal" when making a u-turn at average speed? Or should I be thinking about steering stops already if I buy this car? Many thanks.

 

You replaced your steering stops?? Did that fix the problem?? I may have the same problem. Can you tell me how much the job cost you? My mechanic is telling us $67 including 2 steering stops and labor. If its that cheap, can I do this myself?? I'm pretty mechanical and do most of the work on my cars. But if this needs a 'special' tool, then I'm screwed.

Hope to hear back.

or you could just make left turns only. lol Nascar does it.

I would check a manual or maybe someone knows, but im sure there is something out there telling you how to put in steering stops
