    Steering rack leekage?

    When I was installing my new tie rods and when I removed the passenger side the boot had a bunch of old dirty fluid in it.

    Is my steering rack fucked?

      best place to get a new/remanu rack from?

      As time went on, the factory developed the car each year, making it faster, more comfortable, and capable of handling at higher speeds.
      You don’t want this. You want the trickiest, most dangerous, oldest model you can find. Only then can you prove to the world that you’re a man.

            How long do I have before it's completley fucked?

            The fluid leekage is at a minimum right now. Nothing leaking on the ground just a small amount in the passenger side boot.

            BTW.. which is better the ZF rebuilt rack or the one rebuilt by Maval?

                Try valvoline Max life ATF in the redish brown bottle. I swear by the stuff.

                Or try stearingrack.com for a re-man rack.
