Retrofit Manual Steering Gear Rack to Replace Failing TRW CAM Steering Racks? 200

I hate these power steering racks now that one leaks (1990 li'l red wee beastie Kombi P245), another has issues and I removed the belt (1992 244 GL), and dunno about the 1991 sedan (the Amzoil Type F fluid seems to really agree with it).

I like and prefer the durability of the manual gear steering racks we had on our Volvo 240/260 and 100s from the time of yore in the 1970s when everyone needed a perpetual shave.

I also like the feel of it.

So, has anyone taken the failing TRW/Cam gear power assist steering rack from a, say, later 240 and installed a manual rack from a 1970s Volvo? (You may want to rehab it with new greases and bellow and tie rods and hhhhwhhhhut knot.)

Please advise.

Please have a good day.

Please be sure to get an adequate amount of vitamin D daily, please.

cheers,

Fuzzy Spastard (Spastic Basturd).

I'm not too depressed. I installed new strut mounts and new made by Boge in Mexico Sachs Super Touring struts cartridge in my 1990 li'l red wee beastie Kombi P2455 today.
