I'm looking to sell my 2001 V70 2.4T. If you're in the P2 sub-forum, you've probably seen me post about it plenty over the past 9 years. Lately, it has failed the Massachusetts state inspection due to excessive steering play, and it would need a new steering rack in order to pass. I'm not interested...

Oh, crap. Can you maybe shop for another inspection house I could try, but this was already the place I found by "shopping around" when it failed several years ago... it seems that MA is cracking down on lenient inspectors. They actually failed me for two things this year that they had pa...

No way that can be fixed without taking it out and having it sent to a shop or replaced outright. I would say you are very close to the pinion or rack getting destroyed and losing control of steering. It has actually been in this state for at least three years now (a different station failed me for...

I’m not quite so concerned. There is a lot of structural redundance built into a rack. Are you sure the wheel is being held tight while that play is being exercised? If I push pull on my tie rods on a P80 the steering wheel moves, that’s isn’t play I'm not sure about the steering wheel being held. ...

Some of you may recall three years ago that my 2001 V70 2.4T failed Massachusetts state inspection due to excessive play in the sterring rack: https://www.matthewsvolvosite.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=96401&start=10 At the time, I ended up taking it to a different shop, who ended up passing it. T...
