What It Helps Address

• Excessive steering play or looseness
• Uneven or inconsistent steering response
• Fluid leakage from a worn rack and pinion assembly
• Noisy steering operation caused by internal wear
• Steering feel changes related to aging hydraulic components

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s steering configuration, including whether it is equipped without a deflection limiter and, where noted, without 18" tires. Confirm mounting hole spacing, input shaft dimensions, and hose port type before installation. After replacement, perform a professional wheel alignment and inspect the hydraulic system for leaks and proper fluid condition.

Quality Assurance

This Maval remanufactured rack and pinion is built as a service replacement for the listed Volvo applications and is specified with application-matched dimensions for fitment accuracy. Confirm all vehicle details against the fitment notes before ordering.
