Default steering issue and clunk when accel deccel

hello all, my s60 seems to have a little bit of an issue with steering when turning the wheel stationarry, if i hold the wheel in a specific position the power steering throws the wheel left and right and i can see the wheels moving a little. When i go round bends i can feel the steering pulsating almost like the wheels are moving.....the garage says they can findnothing wrong...however i called volvo and they said it needs new power steering...any ideas of the problem??

also when i accelerate or decellerate there is a click/clunk sound coming from engine bay.....sounds like driveshaft backlash. its had a new engine and i am assuming mounts are fine. Heard something about replacing the bolts through the wheel???

many thanks all

1. Sounds like a bad power steering rack.
2. Make sure the upper mount is good.
Also it could be an axle bolt not torqued properly. It could be many things.
