What’s missing right here?
Draining the coolant from the block when I noticed that it looks like something is missing on the power steering rack. Does anybody know what this is? If I’m being dumb cut me some slack I’m 17 n this is my first project car lmao. Anyways any help/knowledge is appreciated.

I believe if I'm looking at my diagrams right.....only thing missing there is a rack housing cap. but nothing you need to touch less you're rebuilding it. only thing there is a nut, bearing, spacer. in that order. so iunno put some masking tape there or something since the cap went poof. otherwise not a worry.

I'd be pretty certain to say any new or reman rack would come with one. Otherwise more than welcome to knick one from a junkyarder. But again some tape or something should do you fine. It really isn't a huge deal. But if you absolutely had to have one, junkyards your bet as I didn't see a part number looking at the exploded diagram.

The cap is just that. It just keeps that bearing clean and covered from whatever. Water, dirt, debris.

But everything is there? I don't know a whole lot about power steering systems so I just want to make sure everything is good. If so than I'll do as you recommended and tape it up.

look kid I'm just some random internet dude with technician resources. You do what you need to. Yes everything is there, and yes you can try some tape or literally anything that can just cover that. Or just let it be and worry about it when it's an actual problem. Or option c, go to a junkyard, see if and sc's are there and go grab one off it. Either way it's good. And again. Not the biggest deal. These are 30 year old machines. It's gonna be missing a bolt or 10.
