92 240 Wagon Steering 200

When the rack failed in ours, it was stiffer in one direction than the other... this is a 100% guarantee that its a rack problem. No matter what the symptoms, if you replace the rack, make CERTAIN that you flush the hydraulic system with fresh fluid first! Put the return hose into a catch bucket and the suction hose into a bucket of fresh fluid... start the car, let it idle until the fresh bucket is empty and the empty bucket is full of trash. If you don't do this, the new rack won't last long and it's warranty will be voided!

ps. 2 years ago, the dealer cost on a remanned rack was $260.
