Help ! Power Steering Rack !

Post by Bamboo »

The mechanic called me this morning and made assumption that the power steering rack is broken and needs to be either worked on the seal (no idea about this , please help out, novice here) or change the whole rack. He said the hosing system is not good (bad condition). He said *fingers crossed* hopefully just the seal section needs to be done and if not, will have to check for the second hand use to replace a new used rack (if reliable, can't tell really whether if the rack is good enough). Or find it somewhere else and get a brand new rack either import it from Japan or other recommendations that you guys can help out. Thanks a lot, urgent.
