My 1998 S70 T5 makes groaning sounds when turning to the left and right, usually into parking spaces. I don't even have to go to a full turn to get the sound. Also, going a full turn is more difficult, and I think there actually is some rubbing on the tops of the tires.
Is this a suspension issue? Over the years, I've upgraded the shocks and replaced the spring seats a couple times, and each of those times required the springs to be compressed a good amount. Would all these compressions reduce the lifetime of the springs, or could this be a shock issue or something else? Incidentally, how long do stock shocks last?
