Is this applicable to your model?

No, mine is a very old model year 2002 S60, i think the article above responds to newer models.

I read S60 2019 Early ... I thought earlier car also applied biggrin.gif

I don't know about Volvo but most steering assisted car would assist more when in low speed but reduce steering assist at high speed so that it will feel more steady. This need mecchanic that is familiar with the system.

Another possible common reason is the rear absorber. Have the rear absorber and suspension check. This is something even mechanic overlooked. This is what I'll do first before going into steering assist part like sensor (if there is such sensor).

I see, but in general for most cars, is steering suppose to feel heavier during high speed ? Or it's suppose to feel light.

Suppose to feel heavier at high speed. The steering assist is more when car is slow so that you can easily turn the steering like when parking. At high speed the power assist will be off or very little so that the car feel more stable.
