Replace it!!
just did mine today. aftermarket rack, $650.
there is no fixing you have to replace the rack and pinion
Rough estimate for replacement $400. ROUGH ESTIMATE FOR RACK AND PINION IS $800 THAT IS PARTS AND LABOR.
Just had Rack and pinion replaced on my 1999 Explorer, it cost $450 which included parts and labor.
Depends on where it is leaking.
Estimate around $400
Much easier and cheaper to replace the rack with a rebuilt unit than to try to fix the old one.
about $1100.00
If the power steering rack is leaking, it is likely an seal or a gasket. Replacing the seal or gasket should stop the leak.
you need a rack and pinion nut breaker to which you fix a pinion at the free end ie where nut is placed to be cracked. This is because you need to convert reciprocating motion of the rack and pinion mechanism built in the nut cracker into circular motion. Attach the nut cracker to the collect chuck shaft through the bore of the additional pinion you installed at the free end of the cracker. When you punch the nut cracker vide its handle once it moves the pinion one tooth on the rack. Thus you can rotate ( ie give angular motion to ) the fixed workpiece from one tooth or as many teeth as you like., depending on the pitch of the threads on the rack and pinion. mazHur
