Steering rack leak

Postby danielk5787 » Mon Jul 06, 2015 6:34 pm

My steering rack has just decided to piss fluid everywhere. Ive never messed with a rack before so i have a few questions.
Are leaks fixable?
Is it easy to replace? (Seals/rack)
How much should i expect to pay a garage for labour?
Does the jumbo rack fit on a pickup? (Crewcab)

Iv got nowhere dry to inspect the leak but its dripping down just off centre to the right. Im sorry if this sounds a bit demanding but with having to move house in a couple of weeks this has happened at the worst time.

Thanks for looking :D :(

you cannot buy any seals from ford, the best place to probably get a replacement rack from would be power racks direct on 0800 731 4517, book time for rack replacement is about an hour
