i havent had power steering for quite a while so no change----no issue steering that car at all when moving, only when parking is it an issue but well used to it, not getting a new rack installed on a 20 yr old car

DejaVue, another on the Volvo forum send me your post/thread from hear in response to me having a similar issue-----burning out pumps due to leaking rack and not monitoring fluid levels well. I too am interested in this solution of looping the pump and reservoir and leaving the rack out of it...
