Tires brushing wheel wells on full lock turns?

I have a stock S80 with 17" tires and 37K mi. which I bought a few weeks ago. When I turn full lock, especially to the left, there is a sort of brushing noise, I think, in the front part of the car, like the tire is brushing against the inside of the wheel well. Does this seem likely or possible? Or could it be something else?

That's probably what it is. You probably need new steering stops: http://www.ipdusa.com/Volvo-S80-1999-20 ... -856-4068/

Here's a pic of where they are. Disregard the wrench in the photo - the photo was taken for a different purpose. The Stop Limiter is in the elipse and is held on by the two bolts - I think they're 12mm.
