940 power steering question

[nick]

Aidan, have you discovered a solution?

No, not yet Nick, been trawling thru the internet trying to find the info but just getting bogged down in endless lists of companies supplying recon racks. Found plenty of sites offering free repair manuals but when you click the link all you get is a load of advertising crap. I'll keep trying and if I get anything I'll stick it here. If anyone has the info I would really appreciate it, thanks.

I found two brief articles that I will probably try to implement soon (with pictures):

Saginaw Style Pump Mod

Article by Jim Weed (No Pictures)

If I find the setup is similar to the "Saginaw" article, then I will try to shim the spring similar to the "Jim Weed" article.

Thats the type of article I'm looking for Nick, I'm not sure about cars sold in the states but from what I've been reading, apparently there are 4 different racks that were fitted to the 940's sold in Europe so I need to identify what one I have and then see what I can turn up. If I find anything usefull I'll let you know.

Nick, I just found this article, sounds like what we're both looking for,,,

I'm going to try this at the week end on my old 740 first and see what the results are, if it works out ok then I'll do the same to the 940. I'll let you know how it turns out.

Great! I'm excited to hear how it turns out for you. That looks like the same article I posted above (Post #12).

I don't think I have time to try it in my 760 this weekend, I'll probably have to wait until next week. I don't think I'm going to to drill anything, instead I'll just shim the spring to increase to the bypass pressure.
