360 tie rod (not end)

Post by bogbasic »

Hello

my '88 360 needs a new tie rod. It has play in it due to a previous owner breaking the old tie-rod in a crash and replacing it with a non-volvo one which he cut to size with an angle-grinder! Its a power-steering rack and apparently new tie rods for the p/s racks are unobtainable new. I guess if anyone has a spare rack, I might consider getting that for the rod alone, the rack wouldn't have to work or anything....

ttfn, bogbasic.

That's the route I took to get my PAS tie rod ... If it's any consolation, this part:

is a whole lot cheaper than the PAS tie rods when they were still available new ...
