power steering...the follow up S70 1998

a month or two ago, steering rack started to leak...tried a Lucas product, rack too far gone, so elected to replace...searched the web a bit, and came across Carsteering.com....volume seller, with reasonable prices, based on other sites I checked...my customer service experience was completely satisfactory, people on the phone were courteous and knowledgable, ordered rack on a Tues, had by Fri..installed, and returned the core(and they paid the postage both ways!), and core charge was promptly credited to my credit card...they sell both new and rebuilt, but be forewarned... the new are of chinese manufacture, and the rebuilds are rebuilt Volvo units....I went with the rebuild, and have been happily turning ever since...

    power steering...the follow up/Chinese parts S70 1998

    Right on regarding Chinese parts. One reason I bought a new S60 was that I didn't think there was any Chinese influence. Wrong!! The two rear door windows are mane in China. That's all I found so far. I'm sure we'll see more in the future. Will have to stick with rebuilt Volvo parts and pre-2013 cars.
