XJS steering rack RnR
My steering rack is worn, and is leaking ever-so-slightly or maybe even not at all. (it may be covered with other engine bodily fluids...) Anyhow, it doesn't even spot the driveway.
Today I priced out a rebuilt rack and it was $640, not bad considering, BUT then my mechanic said to replace it the book allocates it as a 12 HOUR JOB!!!
It certainly doesn't look that formidable from under the car. Do you have to remove the car from around it?
I may just leave it alone, replace the one cracked rubber boot and the worn tie rod ends and call it a day.
Any feedback from those who have "been there" would be appreciated. Thanks.
