Auto Spare Parts Steering Rod OE 30776255 Turning Bar for Volvo S80 S60
The Steering Rod (OE Number: 30776255) is a critical component of Volvo’s steering system, exclusively engineered for specific sedan models. Installed between the steering rack and the wheel hub (or tie rod end), it acts as a direct force-transmission link: when the driver turns the steering wheel, the steering rack pushes/pulls this rod, which in turn adjusts the wheel’s angle to achieve precise direction control. Its core role is to ensure responsive, stable steering—directly impacting driving safety and handling.
As an OE-grade component, it features a durability and precision-focused construction:
- Material: High-strength forged steel (with a corrosion-resistant zinc plating or electrophoretic coating) for exceptional rigidity and impact resistance. This material withstands constant lateral forces from road bumps and steering maneuvers, avoiding bending or deformation that would cause steering play.
- Precision Machining: The rod’s end joints (for connecting to tie rod ends/steering rack) are CNC-machined to strict dimensional tolerances, ensuring a tight, rattle-free fit. Unlike generic steering rods, it maintains consistent length and alignment, preventing uneven tire wear or steering misalignment.
- Wear-Resistant Joints: Equipped with factory-installed, lubricated ball joints or bushing sleeves (as per OE specs) that reduce friction during steering movement, extending the rod’s service life and ensuring smooth, responsive handling.
Core Functions
- Transmit Steering Force: Directly transfers mechanical force from the steering rack to the wheel hub, translating the driver’s steering input into precise wheel angle adjustments—ensuring the vehicle responds accurately to turns.
- Maintain Steering Stability: The rigid steel construction and tight joints eliminate "steering play" (looseness), preventing the vehicle from drifting on straight roads and ensuring stable handling at high speeds or on rough surfaces.
- Protect Against Wear & Corrosion: The anti-corrosion coating resists rust from road salt, rain, and debris, while lubricated joints reduce friction-related wear—avoiding premature failure that could lead to sudden steering issues.

*For 100% fitment accuracy:
- Confirm the vehicle’s steering system type via VIN (e.g., electric power steering vs. hydraulic power steering)—this rod is calibrated for specific system pressure and force requirements.
- Reference the vehicle’s official service manual to verify installation torque for end fasteners—over-tightening can damage joints, while under-tightening causes looseness.
- After installation, perform a steering alignment (per factory specs) to ensure proper wheel angle—misalignment from incorrect rod installation leads to uneven tire wear and poor handling.*

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How to determine if the bumper bracket needs replacement?
A: Signs of a failing bumper bracket include visible damage or deformation, misaligned bumper panels, unusual noises from the front end, or if the bumper appears loose or sagging on one side.
Q: What should be paid attention to when replacing the bumper bracket?
A: For optimal results, we recommend professional installation. Key considerations include ensuring proper alignment of all mounting points, checking for additional damaged components, and verifying all fasteners are properly torqued to specification.
