Hello, Just getting started on my steering project. I cannot find the service ID plate that tells me what type of rack I have. Supposedly, it's either in the trunk (According to Haynes; below the rear window on the right side) or on the door pillar. I've taken the trunk apart and cannot find it anywhere, and it's definitely not on the door pillar. If anyone has can tell me what type of Rack I have, or where the goofy service plate is that would be wonderful!
Thanks,
Marty Wolfson

Just poking around, there's a diagram on the Swedish Bricks site that shows the CAM Gear rack to use a smaller end on the boot, which is what I have, so I answered my own question. Sorry for posting so fast, however I'd still like to know where that stupid service plate is!

On our 83 it is pasted to the forward lip of the trunk opening near the right-hand trunk hinge.

Go here and check the second picture down....

Not that it's so terribly important now that I know I have the Cam Gear rack, but there is no service plate with that info on the 93 I have. The Owner's manual doesn't indicate that the car has this plate and I tore the trunk apart looking for it along with carefully checking the door pillars. So the answer (I think) is that Volvo must have abandoned that plate.

Have a good one
