The seals in a rack and pinion unit keep fluid contained as the rack moves. Signs that the seals may need replacing include fluid leaking from the steering rack, a fluid level that keeps dropping, and changes in steering feel. If worn seals are causing your rack to leak, this kit supplies the replacement seals for the rebuild. Diagnose the leak source first, and follow the vehicle service information for disassembly and reassembly.
