Hi _?_,
All you need to do is ram your front wheels into a high curbstone and you
can raise heck with the front end.
It's standard for every gender to get ripped off. :-)
If you buy a used car be prepared to sink some loot into it
for deferred maintenance items.
I suggest you ask around some local garages or body shops near you
to see where they send their cars for front end alignment. Then go there.
It is likely not some national chain store.
There are wear and tear items: Ball joints/tie-rod ends,
strut mounts, end links, the list is extensive. Don't give up on the S70!
It's a fine car worth sinking some $$. A front end alignment specialist
should find this stuff and give you an estimate.
Without parts a 4-wheel alignment is maybe $85/90, and they'll tell you what you need.
Did you get the maintenance records for your car? Pay attention to when the timing belt needs changing. Use only full synthetic oil, change it yourself to save loot and be sure the car gets the quality oil it needs.
Good luck, Bill
