1997 Volvo S90 (970), 72k miles.

Oddest thing, but for some reason I seem to be over steering when I make right turns at intersections. Also, when just moving my wheel (any speed) within a lane, left or right, the car seems to over respond; like hyper-power steering. The rear feels stable but my front seems to want to over respond to my steering wheel if that makes sense. My mechanic says my front left shock absorber is starting to go, but in his opinion, nowhere needing a change yet. Could this be it or something else for him to investigate?

PS: wheel alignment is fine, tires properly inflated.

thx much
