Default s60 steering rack dead ish i think

hello all, looks like its time to get a new rack...i think....the steering wheel seems to pulse round bends and fight back to center. I have checked the belt and fluid levels are ok. I have been told this is caused by internal leak leading to pressure imbalance (what do you think??) i have had the rack reconditioned and this has made no difference it is slightly better but not much. There was found to be a fault with the speed assist part which io was told was fixed??

Anyone shed any light on this...what else can i check ?? Volvo quoted £600 ex vat for new rack....can get one from breakers for £200 but i want to be sure its ok. Any one have any ideas of good suppliers of recon racks??

Anyone else had problem with s60 rack??

Thanks v much all......

Have you investigated the bottom steering shaft universal joint? They do go bad. I replaced one this summer on an '02.
