Chuck, were you able to get it fixed?

OK, this may help. Below is our friend Robert DIY's video on removing and refitting a steering wheel. Take note on the order of removing the 2 Torx screws on the back of the wheel in relation to the airbag. https://www.google.com/search?q=volvo+850+steering+wheel+removal&oq=Volvo+850+steering+w...

If the shop had corrected the steering wheel, the wheel would be correct. If they removed the wheel to make it straight without making sure the clock spring position was not disturbed then that would affect the point at which the turn signals switch off. This will require the steering wheel to be r...

Before going to crazy with this, here is another suggestion, since you mention that the car wants to drift in that direction. Sometimes tires can make a car pull into a different direction. I have had this happen a few years ago and it kind of opened my eyes. I had my 98V70XC aligned at the dealer....

Did the alignment shop not first set the steering wheel straight before doing the alignment as they are supposed to do? You can straighten the wheel. It requires removing the air-bag (battery disconnected), unbolting the steering wheel bolt and then mark the straight ahead position with a marker or...

1. They told me that they adjusted the steering wheel. The write up shows it being off before alignment and fixed afterwards.

2. I have noticed that the turn signal doesn't cancel. I often have to cancel it myself. I don't remember which side has the issue, or maybe both.

I've had my 97 850 GLT for a year now, when I drive, the steering wheel has always cocked slightly to the right. Today I went and got a 4 wheel computerized alignment, and all 4 wheels balanced. The steering wheel still cocks slightly to the right, and the car wants to drift in that direction. Front...

I've found 3 different torque specs for these E14 bearing bolts:
- 75ft pounds
- 48ft lbs + 60 degrees
- 33ft lbs + 60 degrees

Anyone have practical experience with this? What is recommended.

I had a similar problem recently. It isn't caused by over-tightening the axle nut, just the opposite. It's caused by not tightening it enough. I thought the bearing was a sealed roller bearing, but it isn't. It's a pair of tapered ball bearings much like a bicycle steering stem. If it isn't tight e...

I'm guessing the smaller ring is part of the hub bearing
