Another Update:
So a local indie mechanic ( not a volvo mechanic) was willingbto look at a few things and give me some thoughts/ advice.
In regard to the vibration I'm feeling in the steering wheel while driving:
He put the car on the lift and showed me that indeed, the inner tie rod does have some movement. He said it wasnt real bad and wasn't sure if it would cause vibration, but couldn't say for sure. Thoughts?
In regard to the vibration I'm noticing in the engine/ steering wheel and gas pedal while accelerating ( in gear or out of gear) the mechanic noted it is "rotational". No misses, sputtering or anything like that. He thought maybe the harmonic balancer could be the cause but said it looked pretty true while spinning.
Thoughts on that?
Kindly
