S80 Suspension Issue

Everything on the Volvo S80. Sometimes called an "executive car", the S80 was Volvo's top-of-the-line passenger car. P2 platform.

S80 Suspension Issue

Post by 537playing »

2001 S80
Whenever i'm driving highway speeds of 50 or higher, the following occurs. When turning right on a sharp curve the car tends to over steer to the right causing me to feel that the car will go out of control. I never had this type of issue with any other car.

Any suggestions?

Thank You,
Denis

Similar thing happened on a friend's car (not a Volvo)...ended up being bad REAR endlinks. Get a dealer or indy shop to check all suspension components including the rear.

Did you find out anything. My 2000 s80 is doing the same thing recently. When going right and at the right speed / G-force it will feel as if the left rear end drops. ver disorienting, feels like severe oversteer.

My front bushings as well as my ball joints were replaced. Fixed the issue that I had experienced...
