Noticed rubbing noise coming from front left wheel well especially when making right turn. Took to service station, they noticed broken strut coil spring and suggested manufacturer defect. Took to Volvo dealership and they remarked a pothole must have been hit to create damage. Had third opinion, no way to create the break in spring during normal driving conditions. Having both coils replaced to be safe.
