Power Steering rack volvo s60 D5
Hi all
I have a 2005 volvo S60 D5 and I'm trying to find out what steering rack was used in these as there are at least 5 different variants used. Is there any way of finding this out before removing old one? Volvo just want to sell me one of there's at over £1000! But won't say what part number or variant it is. Many thanks. |

Volvo steering rack
Hi , I have a 2003 V70 D5 with mileage of 235,00 , and not surprisingly my local general garage has gone through all the possible options of random stiff steering that I've been having over the last few months , to a faulty steering rack . Apparently there are 7 variations , according to my local Volvo Main Dealer garage , and they've told me that the one I need has been discontinued.!
They did however give me the part no. of the steering rack , based on my Volvo Reg. No., so that I could try and locate one . The cost , when available , was about £1100. So perhaps you could try ringing a few Volvo Main Dealers to ask them for your actual Steering Rack part no., and then try and locate one. On searching through E-Bay I did find a supplier , who would recondition your own steering rack -- so there'd be no problem locating a correct one ! Looking at YouTube , it seems fairly horrendous to replace -- and essential to have the use of a car lift, as on the V70 the engine has to be supported and the subframe loosened and partially lowered. Hope this helps ! ? Regards , Gerry |

Would that mean the car would be occupying a ramp at a garage while it was sent away, or is there a way around that? A garage wouldn’t be keen on having a ramp blocked while waiting for the return.

Yes it would. Mine turned out to be occupying a ramp for 4 or 5 days whilst we tried 3 racks. I know what we (garage cocked it too!) should have done!

So did the garage charge more for the extra time taken? I can imagine many garages not wanting to take on the job to send it off as wouldn’t want ramp taken up for so long. I read somewhere some garage charging customers per hour for blocking ramp when they have supplied own parts which ended up being the wrong ones. |

Mine didn't fit (it had been misdescribed). I said sorry but reason. They said they would order. Theirs was wrong. They re-ordered, now understanding that S60 2005 racks weren't so simple... So check with your garage, I suggest. |

What was wrong with your steering rack and what mileage did this occur?
