2005 VOLVO S60 AWD TURBO. THE RIGHT TIRE RUBS ON THE INSIDE OF THE CARS FRAME WHEN I MAKE A LEFT TURN. WE HAVE BEEN TOLD THEY ALL DO IT. WE HAVE DRIVEN A FEW OTHER TYPES OF THE S60 MODEL AND HAVE FOUND THEY HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. NOW, OUR ISSUE IS THAT OVER TIME THIS WILL/COULD CAUSE THE TIRE TO FAIL AND RESULT IN A CRASH. VOLVO HAS REALIGNED THE CAR TWICE TO TRY TO CORRECT THE ISSUE, NOW THEY WOULD LIKE TO REMOVE THE INNER METAL SHIELDS TO SEE IF THAT WILL HELP. WE FEEL THOSE SHIELD WERE PUT ON THE CAR FOR A REASON AND THE REASON IS NOT TO BE TAKEN OFF AT A LATER DATE TO COVER UP A PROBLEM. *JB

I OWN A 2005 VOLVO S60R WITH ADJUSTABLE SUSPENSION. THE CAR EXHIBITS SIGNIFICANT "SIDE-STEP" PROBLEM WHICH IS A POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARD WHILE DRIVING THROUGH DIP OR POTHOLES. OFTEN THE REAR END OF THE CAR WOULD SWAY DRAMATICALLY WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT SPEED OF 40 TO 70 MPH. ONE TIME I DROVE THROUGH A FREEWAY THAT IS NOT WELL PAVED AND MY CAR'S REAR-END WOULD SKIPS TO ANOTHER LANE! IF THERE IS ANOTHER CAR NEXT TO ME I'D DEFINITELY HIT IT. *NM
