  Consumer states he has replaced the king pins on the steer and also has replaced the bushings because they will not stay greased, there IS a slight shimmy and on occasion keeps having to get tire aligned, but there IS still a problem with the right tire that wears out even with alignments, consumer also states he has sheared rear suspension bolts and was told by volvo dealer that this IS a common replacement item, consumer also has two broken lower shock mounts and was informed by volvo that this IS a design flaw but was not covered under warranty, consumer also had to replace two sets of wheel bearings and spindles on the steer, consumer was informed by volvo that spindles need to be replaced every 500,000 miles.*yh *slc

  When I first purchased the truck I was running I-10 and had lots of problems with lugs breaking on the front tires and continually replaced them never really finding the problem that was causing it. I have had lots of trouble keeping the front end in alignment as the tire rod ends, spring hangers, bushings and pins have had to be replaced more than usual. after about 25-30 thousand miles the front tires would beat out and have to be replaced. in desperation I even had both front wheels replace in case of defects in the wheels. this helped to a degree but the lugs have started breaking again. I would really like to know what causes the problem and what.
