When I go around turns the steering seems to be loose, it almost feels as if my wheels an tires are thin and it wobbles a bit.
Has anybody felt this and fixed this? If so, how?

Thanks,

I would check your front suspension components. Ball joint, inner and outer tie rods, control arms and strut mounts. The Volvo dealers here in Columbus offer a free inspection if you ask. You probably have one or several items that are worn.
