Replacing steering rack seals
by Patvan247 » Mon Feb 18, 2019 1:39 pm
Hi I bought a power steering seal kit from transit centre. My rack is leaking from the feed and return pipe o rings and from where the column meets the rack. I have located these seals but don’t know what or where the rest of the seals in the kit are for. Anyone know?

They're internal seal and back-up rings etc...you have to pull the rack apart to do the job properly.

Ok, cheers. Is it worth pulling it apart if the seals are ok? Also is the seal at the top of the pinion an actual seal or a dust cover, as I’m thinking it maybe the actual seals on the pinion that are letting fluid past.
