Subject:Power steering rack

I recall a thread recently about power steering units and their relative
quality and availability. I'd like some opinions about them.

Both boots on my unit are split apart and one side has a bit of fluid
resting in it. I believe the boots broke down from being soaked in fluid for
a long time, indicating a leak. The unit otherwise functions properly. The
question is do I replace seals on th existing unit or do I get a rebuilt (if
available) and just renew the whole lot.

I need to correct the boots simply to pass inspection but I wasn't planning
to spend the money on a replacement.

Is the rebuild/seals kit a dealer item or an aftermarket deal?

cheers,

mordo
