S13 Steering Rack Recon

Post by troopiec »

Hi guys, my power steering rack seals have been leaking for quite a while from the passenger side, i would like to have it reconditioned while its off, or perhaps i can service it myself, but would prefer to find someone to do it with garantee etc, anyone know of someone in Cape Town that wont charge an arm and a leg? I got a quote from one place for close to R2000, i know it is expensive to do but for that price il rather live with the slow leak a little longer.

yea but these guys told me its an ordinary generic kit they fit and the kit is R900, i havent done a power steering rack myself yet but from what little ive read up it doesnt seem that simplest job and its not something you want to get wrong as its a vital component of your car. but Jason why dont you do a write up on it then and il check it out. Im doing my level 3 in mechanics now, will do power steering rack in level 4 next year.

Sorry I miss tryed it I got a friend who does it for a living and he's doing it for me[SMILING FACE WITH SMILING EYES] but if you do your rack it might be a good idea to get a better kit so it lasts longer. Pm me your number dude ill give you my friend number so you can ask him any questions you have
