Steering Rack supplier/reconditioner recommendation?

[Rod1883]

...for the Stag.

I have power steering fluid in the offside rack gaiter - leaking seal no doubt.

It's really annoying as an exchange reconditioned rack was only fitted 4 years and ~5000 miles ago.

Rack out and recondition/exchange again I imagine.

Wish I'd got my original rack reconditioned 4 years ago - it had lasted 48 years and ~115000 miles without leaking!

I'm posting here as I know there are some of us that also own Stags and/or that have good knowledge of high quality suppliers for this sort of part.

Thanks

Hi Rod. I had loss of fluid in my Stag rack (when I had one) poured in some special sealing stuff (forget which one) job was a goodun leak stopped.

          I had the same issue not long after a recon rack on my Stag. I put some LUCAS power steering stop leak in, and that has worked so far. I believe it swells the soft parts. {Oh er Mrs)

Thanks Bob and Firefly

I shall look into that option
