i was told my steering rack was bad. it's got no belt on it, and i tried to put some atf fluid in just for kicks and it stayed in for the duration of a 30 minute drive (obviously no ps without belt) and when i turned off the car, the fluid all came pooring out of the steering rack boots... so, is my rack bad? should i hook up a belt and try again? thanks

No, sounds like the outer shaft seals are gone, you could pull it and rebulid, or contact LPD in Duarte. You should be able to source a used unit, talk to David. -
well i could rebuild, but if im gonna get a new (used) steering rack i'd probably go with an e36 one... thanks for quick replyOriginally posted by Farbin Kaiber View PostComment

hmm the diy writeup seemed like its not too difficult, i've got the tools. how hard is it to replace the outer seals? my dad works at a dealer so i can get the parts for cheapOriginally posted by Farbin Kaiber View PostComment

OP, what are your intentions for the car?
If the vehicle is to remain as a nice, daily driven E30, then I would suggest just picking up a good condition, used E30 rack as they can be had for quite reasonable prices.Comment
