Default Heavy steering

Hello,

Our V70 is not steering as easy as it should, but relatively heavy. Besides that the steering wheel shakes at 130 km/h from left to righ (not up and down).

The power steering is o.k. and the entire front suspension system (arms, shock abs and spring cups) have been replaced.
Tires have been balanced and inbalance is excluded.
CV joints are also excluded by changing them.

Could it be the differential?

did they check the tires for seperation? not the balance. try rotating them to the back and see if it continues.

Also, bad struts can cause vibrations.
