steering rack follow up, possible sucess

Thanks for all who offered assistance. I found the bushing, it had become dislodged from the rack and was float free hidden in the steering boot. I phoned around and a local rack rebuilder has taken it to rebuild for $250 CDN, including new rack boots. He said he would fabricate or modify a bushing as a replacement. I'll try to find out what source of boots he uses, he mumbled something about the ones on mine looking like Nissan boots.
Painfully expensive for a rather tired 99, but this way I don't have to worry about whether I adjusted my rack correctly. In the old catalogs at NAPA/UAP they had a rebuilt rack listed for $260 CDN, but no availability, so this might work fine. Rebuilder says he does about 250 volvo racks a month, so I'm crossing my fingers on this...
