Subject:Leaking PS fluid, replace rack or just seals?
From:Mike Frost
Date:Tue, 24 Jan 2006 15:21:27 -0800

My '86 GL started losing power steering fluid from the end of the valve
where it connects to the steering gear. There are seal kits available for
less than $100.00 and rebuilt steering racks for around $325.00.

Has anyone rebuilt the rack using one of these seal kits?

Would I be better off just replacing the rack with a rebuilt one?

Does replacing the rack require a front end alignment?

I'm not interested in switching to the manual rack.

Mike
