Steering: 164: - 164 track rod - same as 140 or not?

Pigeon · Nov 23rd, 2007, 17:31

Are the track rods on the 164 the same as the 140? I know where there is a scrap 140 and I need a replacement n/s track rod for my 164.

Or, does anyone have the Volvo part number, so I can take it to the Volvo dealer and not have them go "duh?"

OK, I've now found the parts catalogue online: http://www.164club.org/katalog/index.html

Pages 428 and 429 of the complete pdf seem to be the relevant ones. So it seems we have two types of track rod - one with replaceable ends, and one all-in-one - I have the all-in-one ones. And we have two different patterns for each of these.

The later patterns are listed as "ers. av" - "replacement for" - the earlier ones, which implies they are interchangeable, yet the kink on the ends of the non-replaceable ones looks to be opposite - the earlier one kinks down, the later one kinks up. So how is "replacement" defined here?

And is it possible to fit replaceable-end ones in place of all-in-one ones? It looks like they'd physically fit but would the steering geometry somehow end up fundamentally wrong?
