Vibration while cornering at low speed
 

I have a 2000 V70R AWD, and recently it experiences front-end vibration while cornering at low speeds, for example in parking lots, adn around round-abouts. Took it to a Volvo dealer which found no suspension, drive or steering problems but found one ignition coil faulty. They figured I was getting engine vibration at low speeds while attempting to accelerate. Replaced the coil (#5 plug) but I don't see any difference. Any suggestions?

Check motor mounts.

front end vibrations (where the whole front of the car shakes) can be a bad axle (pass side nomrally). does it vibrate when sitting still and turnthing the wheel?

After many visits to Volvo in Edmonton and Calgary with no success at diagnosing my vibration problem, Dancia Motors in Duncan BC figured out that half of the universal joint on the propeller shaft to the rear axle was seized. They tracked down the problem by putting the car into neutral while corning at low speed, and when the vibration didn't go away, new that they didn't have a motor problem but a rear transmission problem. Good diagnostic skills by the mechanics--all too rare these days! I wound up replacing the entire propeller shaft (expensive, but after 14 years many of the associated parts were starting to wear), and my vibration has disappeared.
