1999 Volvo VN770 Suspension Problems

“Vehicle is experienceing premature steer tire wear. The tire shop would not warranty the tires because of possible front end alignment problems. After having the alignment shop inspect vehicle, it was determined that it was a steer tire problem. An engineer advised consumer to have the leaf spring and supports extended about a foot.”

“Consumer states the steering tires have been replaced 3 times, the major problem is the right steering tires due to uneven wear, the truck has had front and rear alignments performed but no problems have been found, also the u-bolts broke and Volvo replaced all the bolts, also several steering wheel bearings have been replaced.”

“Excessive tire tread wear on front tire, wheel bearings loosen, 7 alternators failed, transmission failed, gear box failed, been in shop 3 weeks, seems something fails after each time in shop. Believes very poor quality regarding dealer shop performance.”

“Vehicle is experiencing problems with the u-bolts, also Volvo contacted consumer and sent 2 new tires to solve the premature tire wear problem, but the problem still exists, it now shakes and wanders over the road, shocks need replacing again.”

“While truck was being driven u- bolt on front passenger side broke, and became lodged between tire and frame of vehicle. Please give any further details.”
