Steering gear Volvo Amazon (B16)

Play in the steering wheel, sluggish response or an oil film under the steering box are common inspection points on the 122 with B16 engine. The steering worm is of the worm-and-roller type and is serviced with SAE 80 hypoid oil, and the level should, per workshop procedure, be checked at regular intervals – a leaking seal is often the cause of a dropping level and increasing play.
