Volvo: front suspension, volvo 850, tight turn


Question
1995 Volvo 850 turbo
119,000 miles
automatic transmission

My question: When I turn the steering wheel completely to the right, there is a squeaky/grinding sound from the front end. The sound is not as noticeable when making a complete left-hand turn. The car has the original struts and had several front end parts replaced at 48,000 miles. Also, the tires were replaced 20,000 miles ago and they show even wear.

Thanks for your help.

Answer
Hello Chuck! Try greasing the steering stops located on the spindles. They rub on the control arm when making a tight turn. You can grease the stops ot the plastic cushion on each control arm. Let me know if that helps. I'll be here if you need me!
