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

Did you upgrade the tires to a larger size? If not, maybe your springs have weakened. Volvo sells a steering stop extension for some of their cars...don't know if it includes the S80. It would be worth checking, but this will decrease your turning radius noticeably and the turning radius isn't great to begin with.
