Lifted car and looked for wear in suspension components. Nothing obvious found. Then used pry bar looking for play, again, nothing found.

Quality rebuilt all the way. Detroit axle or united power steering are good options. I paid about $300 CAD total last year for mine after I returned the core. There are rebuilders in Toronto that may or may not offer decent pricing.
Just be certain you get the right one. Variable or non variable assist. Threaded or push-in connections. ZF or SMI (CHECK the stamp on the pinion, I don't care what anybody says that's the only 100% accurate way of telling). And finally- The lower u-joint style. It's in your best interest to buy a new u-joint anyway so this may be done after purchasing the rack anyway (OEM from Volvo Toronto is a great price.)

Much of my time during the job is spent hauling things up and down the stairs to the basement or in and out of the storage shed, or running back downstairs when I realize I need something else,or taking a break from standing out in the sun,or using flashlights or work lamps when it gets dark.

Was gonna say control arm on the one side. Had something like that when braking, but makes sense could happen on acceleration.

Sounds like there is plenty of research to do. If I do decide to change the rack, I'll definitely change the hoses as well. The U-joint/steering shaft I changed last year to eliminate excess play.br0dy519 wrote: ↑06 Dec 2022, 20:37 Quality rebuilt all the way. Detroit axle or united power steering are good options.
