steering rack fluid leak V70-XC70 1999

posted by  someone claiming to be chicagolandvolvoboy on  Tue Aug 21 17:09 CST 2007 [RELATED]

I'm not sure, that's why I have the dealer(not the most cost effective, but most efficient) looking at it tommorrow morning... I know there are other people in my neigborhood, but they have waiting lists, sometimes weeks long, before I can get an appointment, with me just starting fall semester, and having limited time,the dealer seems the best, especially in foreign territory where you only know of one local who works on volvos...

If it is simple, and I hope it is, Im hoping the dealer can give me a loaner(HA), or take me to avis..Like I said, the dealer is not most cost effective, but I'm on my own here, and this needs to be fixed ASAP.(better now than in october when it starts snowing!) What I have heard, is that apparently the 99 70-series cars had steering racks that WILL go bad sooner than they should!? I heard that from my dad's client who re-manufactures steering racks, and that was one thing he pointed out to us when we bought this car..
as of now this car is not too difficult to steer w/o the p/s.. if it were and 850 which apparently is nose-heavy, then I would be whining right nowQ!
