So I email you the same basic content and you blow me off with one line that it's not bump steer? Then I post it and you're on board? |

![]() My caster is more shot to hell than yours and drives fine, just look at my post align specs. I think it has nothing to do with the alignment; I would still push the alignment dude to get it all set to spec and then reassess. Now that I think about it, since I installed wagon overloads on my wife's car; it tends to wander a bit more than it used to, but then of course I haven't realigned it to check the numbers though, either. Her car has a lot of rake to it like your car. Looks good though.

97% of the time it starts with cut springs the stats go even higher when car is an 85+ 240 to a 98.7% probability of crushing 99.9876% if belt line trim has been removed fix your suspension and steering and quit trying to reinvent the wheel |

![]() It's probably me, but the camaraderie of a shared enthusiasm in Volvo's is nil around here sometimes. I have put hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars into my ride. I have been supportive and respectful of others on the forum. I need to take a break from this place.

I had bjs go bad after 6 months and I get my car aligned everytime I mess around with suspension stuff a loose rack with bad alignment can give you a super detached feeling at the wheel |

![]() Strut mounts have nothing to do with bump steer. I guess that ASE cert isn't helping you much.

![]() In case you wanted some TSB info:
NEW ALIGN SPECIFICATIONS TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN Reference Number(s): GROUP 64, NO. 122, Date of Issue: March 1991 ALIGNMENT SPECIFICATIONS Model Volvo 200 Group 64 Bulletin No. 122 Date March 1991 NEW FRONT CAMBER SPECIFICATION The camber specification listed below should be used for all 200 series cars with power steering. Note that the upper range of the camber has been increased to +1 degree. However, observe the listed restrictions. CAMBER .............+1/4 to +1 degree RESTRICTIONS: •The difference between left and right camber should not exceed 1/2 degree. •If uneven tire wear, or if "feathering" of the tire is observed, the camber should be set as close to the lower range (+1/4 degree) as possible. NOTE: This Specification is considered to be retro-active for all 200 series cars. Cars that have been set up to the previous specification, and remain within the previous specification, need NOT be re-adjusted to the new specification. |

![]() Also, I would never set the front end of a 240 to zero toe. They always wander when they do not have a small amount of toe in. What the car is set to on an alignment rack is not what it will actually be doing when driving down the road. The parts all deflect under load. Zero toe static becomes toe out when the car is moving forward. Guaranteed to climb the ruts in the road surface. Last edited by 2manyturbos; 03-07-2017 at 02:48 PM.. |

![]() Carl,
You make no mention of any work done on the rear suspension. A broken bushing in the rear of a 240 will make them wander all over the place no matter what you have done with the front end. The upper torque rod bushings are always broken on a 240 with as many miles on it as yours has. |
