That particular issue appears to mostly impact the P85s, especially with 21s. Theory is that the huge amount of torque on the P85s is impacting the rear suspension -- published at 443 lb-ft (and 416 hp), but at least one dyno registered over 800 ft/lb

My car is a "lowly" S60 -- which has a torque rating of 317 lb-ft (and 302 hp). When I had it in about 2 months ago, they measured tread depth on all tires and all were even, so I'm pretty sure my car doesn't have the issue Edmunds reported.

This is my 2nd alignment issue -- the first was done a week after delivery...
