I got a request from the MVS Contact form from a guy who got laid off last month. He's using the S70 for DoorDash and can't afford the parts.
"London Ontario, I mostly help out volvo guys here and install parts for them free labor when they can afford the parts. Appreciated on you keeping the eye out. I had a Typo so meant to say rear brake pads and rotors. I know my luck is unlikely on a powersteering rack but again I can dream. I love your website btw and have used it for hunting problems and knowledge down for the last 5 years. You're awesome and the RobertDIY guy also."
Can anyone spare rear brake pads, rotors for 99 S70? London, Ontario

FWD or AWD? I'd assume FWD but let's be sure. Unfortunately I don't currently have any FWD rear brake parts as my last were used on another low income friends V70.

Matthew, maybe you could provide this guy with a link to Chuck's thread of the p/s rack rebuild.
Surely seems alot cheaper than all the other options.

Thanks everybody. Shift, here's the writeup on a 850 p/s rack R&R viewtopic.php?t=105861
If you go for a rack replacement, this thread mentions your steering rack is probably SMI not TRW, so do note that.

I have a 97 850 AWD I'm using for parts in Ottawa. Dunno if the PS rack is the one you need, but if so, you're welcome to come get it.

West, near Bayshore. I looked online a bit more and think it's probably not the right power steering rack for your car but you're welcome to if if you find out otherwise.
