Title: Steering rack seals
Post by mike on Sep 9^th, 2007, 9:45pm

Hello there!
I realised today (horrible grinding noise from PS pump) that my steering rack is leaking rather badly (gaiter split, full of fluid). And I don't fancy paying 500+ euros for a "reconditioned" rack.
Does anybody know where I can find a seal kit (it has to be shipped to France)?
Cheers,
Mike

The seal repair has been tried before unsuccessfully.
You can get a new rack here at a reasonable price.

Good prices but I doubt they will have a LHD rack.
Rebuilding steering racks is not that difficult...if you can get the parts.
Cheers,
Mike
