Steering tie rods

99 V70 T5,Just noticed my o/s steering tie rod is has got a bit of free play in it, I know this can be replaced no problem on the Gen 2 V70's XC90s etc but can these be replaced on the Gen 1 models.
Does it depend on the type of rack or are they all do-able ?
I've done plenty of these on other makes just not this one :-/

Thanks for the confirmation on this, The actual job doesn't worry me I just wasn't sure if the parts could be obtained on these older models.
