Subject:Power steering rack leak
Date:Thu, 29 Nov 2018 16:27:04 -0500

Well, it's happened again.�  Just like clockwork.�  Another 7 years and
the power steering rack leaks again.�  When I replaced it in 1997 it had
a lifetime warranty but today I am reminded that "lifetime" means the
lifetime of the business that sold it and not the lifetime of Vanagon
ownership.

It's leaking from the two-bolt plate that controls the spring that puts
axial force on the steering pinion shaft.�  Has anyone had any success in
sealing this plate?

Thanks.

Ed
