Title: Steeringrack leaking
Post by Ford_Sweden on Jan 16^th, 2006, 8:17am

Is it possible to repair the steeringrack on my scorpio-95. i knoe that the parts cant be found as compete kits, but the question remains, can i open the rack so i can change the worn parts. We have an company i sweden that my supplie us with new O-rings or whatever it needs to stop the leak.

Best Regards
Peter

Eric R one of the co founders of the site did a repair on his some time ago but that failed very soon afterwards and it is not down as a serviceable item and is NOT recomended. Better to buy a new one or proffesionally reconditioned. IMHO.

Do it if you want to give it a try but as I stated Eric found it failed soon afterwards and if i remember correctly replaced the rack in 2003 see here for experiences etc

Thanks again!
I think i will give it a try, and if that fails i buy a new rack, the price in sweden is aprox 400£ so its quite expensive. if i success i will post the results so it maybe help someother with the same problem
