125k, pretty sure its on original struts.
Alignment just verified, but my new to me XC70 wanders to the right in the right lane, left in the left. Usually this is an alignment issue, but is this typical of the model? It doesn't fly to the left or right, but clearly drifts out of the lane if you loosen up on the wheel.
I'd also noticed that if you turn the steering all the way to one side or the other, like when you are 3 point turning, that it goes from generally "heavy" feel most of the way to one side, but then that last 1/2 turn of the steering wheel just suddenly flops over quickly and easily. As if suddenly you are hitting a very well greased part of the parts - hard to describe.
I've had 240's, 740's and S70, so wondering if much of this is that bigger wagon feel or something to fix (that's hopefully fun to fix!).
The ride is cushy and heavy, compared to my 245Turbo and 745Turbo, both which had IPD sway bars. Is there a chance of making this car handle like those?
