volvoGurus:
My son has an 83 245 that I gave him for college use. It has toasted inner tie rods (jacked up the front wheel, 10mm play just by using my hands, lots of clunking).
Here at home, I have an 83 240 steering rack (with the large openings in the boots=ZF?) AND an 86 240 with the small openings in the boots= CAM? ) My question:
can I use either if I use the entire rack from steering column to outer tie rods?
Will the hoses from the power steering pump attach OK to either one at the rack end of the hose?
Or should I just buy the inner tie rods (expensive) and redo the rack on the car?
Gracias,
el Raidman.
