just thought id mention this as im doing an x reg c70 ragtop at work at the moment,a steering rack change,
reason for change is the welds have broken,
the welds that fits the mounting points to the rack have broken away (part of the rack)and thus leaving the rack floating about,
obviously if it gets bad then you would notice it on the steering,but once its broken it will stress the other end mounts,you dont want that breaking when your going down the motorway etc,
speaking to volvo about it it seems that the c70 has an issue with this happening,so the main point of this thread is purely for your safety,
if you check your rack out,
get it up on ramps etc (not wheels hanging)and get someone to gently rock the steering wheel,
if the mount welds have broken then you will see the n/s end of the rack where it bolts to the cross member moveing,
the rack moves but the mount stays bolted to the crossmember,obviously it shouldnt be moving.....
