Steering Stop Limiter

Do you hear an annoying rubbing sound when you turn the steering wheel full lock? Volvo installs these stop limiters to prevent the tire from rubbing on the inner fender liner. After years of bumping against these limiters they compress and don't offer the same limits as when new. Replacing them will restore the original limits.

Additionally if you fit aftermarket wheels and/or change tire sizes, this can also effect clearances. By fitting a thicker stop you can prevent tire rub that occurs when changing from the factory wheel/tire combination.

Note: the thicker the steering stop, the larger the turning radius becomes on the car so there is a trade-off. The noise you hear is not a safety issue but more of an annoyance.

This is the thicker option steering stop. Volvo recommends for use on cars with with tire size 235/45, 225/45 & 235/40.

Product Fitment Notes & Potential Issues

Some 2007- S60/V70 models were equipped from the factory with different style control arms (aluminum or steel.)  These two styles of control arms use different steering stops and  are not interchangeable.

These steering stops fit the following models with steel control arms:

• 2007-2009 S60 from chassis number 626502 with steel control arms
• 2007 V70 with Factory Code 1 from chassis number 647149 with steel control arms
• 2007 V70 with Factory Code 2 from chassis number 645618 with steel control arms

To ensure correct ordering please check your chassis number or inspect what is currently equipped on your car.
