On my car I would believe so. My xc70 is based on a mondeo mk4 being built when Ford owned Volvo.
Why don’t you take a look at the steering rack re manufacturers, I have used Shaftec for drive shafts for instance. I was also told by a Volvo parts man that things like steering racks and drive shafts are remanufactured parts anyway, just in a Volvo box.
I would be looking for an independent motor factors in your area and see what they can find.
Or take a look at Autodoc, it will cost you £8 in post and package and take approx 8 days to reach you but offer considerable savings. For instance, I have replaced front struts and rear shocks with Bilstien B4 units for less than I could buy Monroe gas pressurised from factor.
