The Maval racks have a lifetime warranty....done the warranty once already.�

But you may have to go through a retailer to get one.......which is a pain because once they make their cut they don't want to talk to you again.

See if you can buy directly..........and let us know if that is the case.

BTW, I think the key thing is too flush the system thoroughly, to remove old fluid and metal.� Otherwise supposedly they invalidate your warranty.

Good luck!

So the 2nd manual steering rack i installed is already showing a little play on one side....prolly needs replacement....These racks arent beefy enough for heavy Westys IMO. Does anyone know a place i can send it to have it rebuilt?
thanks!Phil 84' Westy Tiico'ed in 2001
