You guys using Dexron III in these AAE racks? Looks like there's conflicting information out there.
My rack came in today, going in a 98 V70.

Re: Steering rack fun
I do have a spare rack out of a parts car that I haven't pulled yet. It might have the same issues though, so maybe I'll pull that one and it could be a rebuild candidate if I'm ever motivated enough.
I'll probably end up returning the Detroit Axle rack for a refund because it does have a lifetime ...

Re: Steering rack fun
Thanks for the tip, I'll probably go that route.
I found a TRW rack rebuild video and yeah, I doubt I can even find the correct seal kit.

Steering rack fun
Hello all,
Has anyone tried to replace seals on a steering rack?
I got this "rebuilt" rack a few years ago from Detroit Axle, and it's pretty much junk. Both sides leak, the driver's is really bad. And I've only put a few thousand easy miles on it.
I was replacing the loose tie rods (also junk ...

Re: Unfortunate new Volvo owner! (98 V70 AWD)
Hello all,
Are there upgraded front ABS sensors with molded in wires, or a different year that would work? I've "fixed" the connectors three times now (soldered and shrink wrapped), but they always seem to come apart.with vibration, etc.
Does anyone make them with pigtails instead of the connectors ...

Re: '98 V70 AWD manual swap donor compatibility
Random question here, since I'm still mentally preparing for the swap, maybe this summer.
I hear that I can swap in the rear delta link suspension from the C70 when converting to FWD (my AWD system doesn't work anyway).. My question is, can I swap the gas tank over from the coupe as well?
What is ...

Re: Windshield & rear window trim: budget / DIY options?
The tailgate trim is still available at a price. It is a devil to remove once it is rusty. Lots of silicon spray and work it out with a blunt flat blade screwdriver. It will take a lot of time, but you have to take time not to damage the paint. Installing a replacement is fairly easy again with ...
