Just put my C70 through its MOT. One garage failed it saying there was excessive play in the steering rack and that you could shake it by hand when it was on the ramp, another garage (independent volvo specialist) tightened some nuts and it went through its MOT.
This is playing on my mind, a Volvo main dealer told us about 18 months ago that it needed a new steering rack, but the independent volvo specialist said they were talking rubbish and that its fine.
Thing is, the tracking always seems out (just been tracked by a garage), despite replacing track rod ends and arms and the steering feels very wobbly and unstable when going over bumps and dips in the road, feels fine on smooth, straight roads.
Anyone got any ideas on this, I don;t want to replace the steering rackunless its necessary but everyone is telling me conflicting things.
