Take on a leaking steering rack with the Sunsong Rack and Pinion Seal Kit 8401340, which contains the components needed to repair the steering unit. It is a direct-fit replacement kit for the 1998-2001 Mercedes-Benz ML320 and the 1999-2001 Mercedes-Benz ML430.
Sunsong is a vertically integrated manufacturer that researches, develops and builds automotive fluid transfer hoses and lines. The company states a commitment to exceeding industry quality standards, not just meeting them.
The internal seals of a rack and pinion help keep power steering fluid contained as the rack moves. Signs the seals may need replacing include fluid seeping from the rack or its boots, a reservoir level that keeps dropping, or heavier steering effort. Diagnose the source of the leak first. If worn rack seals are the cause, this kit supplies replacement seals for the rebuild. The listed applications use one kit each.
