C70 steering rack wanted

alain · Jul 10th, 2021, 00:38

Hi all.
I’m looking for a steering rack for my 2001 C70 convertible.
I believe they are the same as 850/S70 and V70.
I can’t believe it’s so hard to find one. I tried the Volvo dealer but they can’t order them anymore.
I’m based in Ireland 🇮🇪

Thanks
Al

You can get a used one from any P80, just make sure you green the inner tie rod ends with it. TRW/SMI both for and bolt right up, making things much easier.

Thanks for that Cookeh, that’s great information.
I’m gonna call a few breaker yards here to see whether they have one.
👍

I found one and it was just up the road so I’m all sorted.
Thanks again for the advice Cookeh.
