xc60 2009 d5awd inner tie rod

crichbish · Oct 22nd, 2017, 19:31

Hoping for a little advice.
I have found play on my offside inner tie rod, I have been looking to order a replacement but there seems to be different part numbers depending on the type of power steering i.e. Electric or mechanical. Can anyone tell me an easy way to tell which one I have.
Thanks in advance.

I think the electric power steering was introduced in 2011. Certainly my 2010 D5 AWD is mechnical.

If I remember rightly, the reason that volvo deleted the front fog lights was because of the electrical loading the electric powersteering pump introduced.

So......

If you have front fog lights, you don't have electrical power steering.

I'm sure someone will rush in and correct me if I'm wrong.

Thanks, I appreciate your response.
I held off ordering and had a look today, definitely not electric, found the pump on front left hand side of block.
