steering rack replacement
Hey everyone. I have a 2001 c70 convertible with the 2.4t. I have been having some power steering fluid leakage so I went to volvo and they quoted me like 1800 to replace the steering rack. That is nuts. I found a rack online here. http://www.autopartspoint.com/addtoc...80-00853.html#
and was wondering how hard would this be to do myself. One issue is I have no manual to use. Any advice on manual or how-tos would be awesome.

When turning your steering wheel do you get a knocking sound or feel like something is grinding and cracking ? thats what im getting and most likely its the steering rack too...dammit ! haha
sorry what I was getting at is that it might not be the steering rack that needs to be replaced.

Volvo replaced my rack under warranty for the reason of a leak. I have an old 02 c-70. After that replacement it went on and the pump was replaced and then the resovoir. Interesting. At any rate it's no big deal changing a rack out. I am sure TECH will comment on the appropriate steps.
As to the cost of parts.........most all European autos charge an arm and a leg for parts but by the same token, they are most generally superior in quality to aftermarket. You might want to check on the cost of a re-build.
