hi,
i recently purchased a 98 V70 R, the car is in good shape, 107k on it..... i drove it home on the highway and was pretty happy with how it rode. i did notice a slight vibration, but passed it off as needing an alignment or the wheels balanced. when i got off the highway, close to home, i noticed when taking off with the wheel turned a pretty serious vibration(almost more of a clunking a low speeds) it smooths out at cruising speed (45-60) with just a mild viration, but you can kind of feel it all the way through the gears....and also coasting in neuatral at low speeds when making sharp turns. to me it sound like something up front, but i have a friend who thinks that the propeller shaft may be bent. just looking for any input......thanks.
