Hit Man X

I got a good look under the car today and I thought the PS pump was the issue at hand, turns out the inner boot on the pass side is torn and I have a nice leak from there. A reman rack is $264.59 my cost.

Are there any rebuild kits for this, or do I just need to drop the cash for a reman rack?

Thanks.

just get a reamnufactured one , yes there is repair kit but not much of a difference in price, and still youve got a warranty on your remanufactured one and sometimes lifetime on a rebuilt one

I'm not used to this rack setup (all my stuff have recip-ball), is this common for the rack to leak?

bicol-ini

yes its possible depends on your location all the dirt, your power steering pump, oil, your screen, tie rod, all that has to with it, and to replaced it pretty straight forward, just a lot of patience

the UCF10-21 have steering rack leak issues after about 100-150k mi.

Makes perfect sense then at 230K+

I already checked it out how to remove, it's a piece of cake. I could have it done in two hours including beer breaks.

Anyone know where I could get new supply/return lines for the rack? May as well while I'm in there.

carson toyota can get u the high and low pressure lines but be aware the the high pressure line especially is NOT CHEAP. cost me in the neighborhood of $230

if youre near a hose shop just bring in the high pressure hose to them have it rebuilt/replace the hose just tell them its for power steering, cost around 60 bucks depend on location

I've done that a few times with VERY spendy hoses, most high side PS lines for my MBs are $88-36... so I just replace them. $200+ is insane, I'll take it to the machine shop.

Anyone ever use these folks...http://www.steeringrack.com/ Lifetime warranty and not sweating the blowout sounds good to me.

youl still need a HP hose, either rebuilt or new ranging from $70-280

while youre on it rebuild your PS pump kit available at the dealer like 30 bucks, clean your solenoid screen, replace all your hoses youll be glad you did
