New steering rack required

[AVI_8]

My rack has been leaking for some time now, recently got worse though, I saw this company on ebay and wondered if anyone has used them before?

£200 inc delivery and a 2 year warranty

When I had the suspension replaced and set up by Chris at Centre Gravity he pointed out I had a small leak from the rack. However, he said the rack was fine with no play and spot on - just that the seal needs replacing. May be worth checking before shelling out for a whole rack and its' fitment (unless you get a good deal on a service exchange unit I guess).

Hi thanks, yes it is just the seals which need replaced, can't find anyone locally to do that though.

I think the rack has to be stripped in order to fit new seals anyway, unless someone knows differently?

There is a thread on Rennlist about the whole rebuild process but its not that simple!

I've read positive reports about the company in the original post though

Hi thanks for that, one of the porsche magazines recently ran an article about rebuilding a rack, the whole thing needs stripped down to do the seals if i remember correctly, I'll need to dig it out and have another read and if specialist tools aren't necessary I might have a go at it ......Can't be any more difficult than removing a very stuck 964 CV joint!!! Haha
