Leaking steering rack and upper control arm bushes

Post by Wax anima »

Do I need to just buy a new steering rack? And can I just replace bushes or do I have to replace whole arm?

Service steering rack... expect $$$ bill. But is it just the steering rack boot that got fucked and everything else is fine? Show it to a steering rack specialist. Please don't take it to Pedders. They will sell your soul, and then ask for your first born before sticking a wooden stake through your heart.
Replace control arm bushes. Pick up replacement bushes off Superpro.
