It's all done. O rings, lines, bruised hands, all new. The hose to metal clamp is where the leak was. I don't remember which tutorial I used. Really, the job was easy. Except for access to fasteners. But that has made me a more patient man. It was easier than changing out the steering rack, though. ...

Two months later, replaced these. (Along with a lot of other work, like steering rack.) Glad to have been able to take my time. Had to buy new, no one in my town is able to fix them. That was pretty disappointing. It was also disappointing when the top clamp to the radiator didn't hold the oil hose ...

Well, it's taken me about 2 months to do this, and more, though I did a few hours of work here and there. I really took my time, no rush at all. I pulled the rack and started to rebuild but noticed that the rack had been rebuilt. I decided not to risk tearing it apart. It's in the S70, now, with new...

Sorry for double post. Couldn't delete.

I feel your pain. My son wrecked our '98 V70 T5 a couple of months ago. Bent subframe made it too expensive to fix so I've kept it as a parts car and bought a '98 S70 GLT. Needs a few things, including steering rack, but the parts are now cheap! And, whenever I need one of those little parts that ar...

Thanks!

I've been calling around and I just can't believe that the parts stores want me to pay up to $16 additional for shipping on this, even for pick up at their stores.

Ends up costing over $50. Ugh!

I think I already know the answer to this one but I'm asking because there's usually something I'm not considering. I have two '98 Volvos. The V70 T5 is now a parts car for the S70 GLT. I spent a good chunk of this past weekend pulling the steering rack with the idea that I would be putting it into ...

Thank you! That removes a lot of the mystery. There's oil on the line beginning a few inches up from the pictured joint and is wet on the lower, metal, section. I've just assumed it's from the joint. I haven't pulled out the inner fender liner to inspect yet. I do have the parts car and could use it...

Can someone help me identify these lines? The white thing on the right in the pic is the oil filter. You can only see one of the lines in the pic, the other is on top, they run parallel for a bit. One looks to me to be going into the radiator (tranny fluid cooler?) and I couldn't easily trace the ot...

I'll look into that. Thanks. Although, 2004 -2006 might be more than I want to spend.
Looks like the VIDA-DICE is only about $100. May be a good investment.
