Fine
A lot is 2 words, it would be great if you all learned this

I guess I have to carry my signature from Swedespeed over to here.
A LOT
TWO WORDS
LEARN IT [/quote]

Excuse me, what do you mean by the preceding statement?

Sorry, I didn't mean to yell at you.
I've become frustrated with the spelling and grammar on ALL volvo boards not just here and I was having a bad day.
All I was saying is "a lot" is 2 words not alot.
Everyone seems to be writing this lately, even educated people, thus it has become a very bad habit and it drives me nuts

JRL, I know exactly what you mean. There are several words that have been mispronounced a lot lately by people in the news and supposedly educated people who should know better. I can't recall them right off the top of my head, but it really gripes me sometimes too! We just have to remember to chillax sometimes!

Here are a few links just for you JRL:

From YOUR links..

forte fort The word is spelled 'forte' but the E is pronounced only when speaking of music, as a forte passage "loud passage". The words for a strong point and a stronghold are pronounced the same: [fort].

...and of course...

a lot
Two words! Hopefully, you won't have to allot a lot of time to this problem

As much as I agree with everyone about the English language and misuse of it, this thread is for steering problems, so back on topic everyone!

Thanks for all the advice, it feels a little better after the lucas steering leak fix. But driving it this morning with the all the rain and melting slush a I had a couple of scary moments fighting the steering wheel and car didn't want to stay with me. I think I'll print out all this advice and show my mechanic. I have 2 axles I need to get put in anyway so hopefully I can avoid putting in a steering rack, we'll see. I'll also try to watch myself with "alot" cause I'm also guilty of that. Thanks again!

i could be the sway-bar bushings, where the bar attaches to the frame, have gone south. maybe even the strut mounts and/or spring seats as well.
