Volvo 850 Can power steering hose be replaced ...

Post by JimBee »

without dropping the steering rack? Found an 850 today with a nearly new high pressure p.s. hose. Yard was closing so I didn't have time to crawl under for a closer look. Given that it's almost new, I suppose the fittings would be fairly easy to unscrew—if I can get a wrench on them. The way their cars are supported, I don't believe I could drop the subframe.
Voices of experience your wisdom will be appreciated.
