Tight Steering

    I recently bought a 98 V70 with 134,000. I like the car but the
    steering seems a bit too tight, even for me and my wife complains that
    her wrist hurts after driving for awhile. Does anyone know if the
    "stiffness" of the steering is adjustable in any way?

    Increasing tire pressure to the top of the recommended range
    will lighten the steering effort. Make sure that the power steering
    is working properly.

    I did check the tire pressures and they seemed OK, but I will check
    that they are at the top. I suppose I will need a shop to check the
    hydraulics. Thanks for the help

    Not sure, but if the s70 has bearring caps atop the front struts that could
    be it too...
