There are seals to be replaced but you have to know what you are doing.

Normally there is a repair kit available. You should go to the parts shop and ask for the repair kit.

After a power steering flush can other things happen to require further mechanical work such as replacement of power steering pump hose rack and pinion?

ALL RUBBER COMPONENTS (HOSES/BELTS) SHOULD BE REPLACE RIGHT ABOUT EVERY TWO(2) years.now your rack and pinion should only be replace if is going bad or if is already bad. For example once the inner bushings on your tie rods brakes or crack, the entire unit needs to be replaced. if the rack is leaking it needs to be replace Even if there is NO noticeable changes in your steering of the vehicle. This is done for SAFETY REASONS.

Do you have any suggestions regarding the power steering on my 2002 Lincoln LS - it was making a sound so I changed the pump and line but it won't start leaking - any ideas?

I assume you mean that it won't STOP leaking. If the leak is coming from the parts you replaced, then there is a defect, or you cross-threaded or failed to tighten something. But the leak may be coming from the rack (the part between the front wheels that the lines go to). THAT is a major job to replace. It could also be coming from a cracked fluid reservoir.


Is overheating a common problem with the 1997 Trans Am?

no, check the coolant reservoir 1st, if its full then after car is at operating temp. look underneath and see if any coolant or water is on the ground below the water pump if so the weep hole is probably leaking on the water pump check the componet if all check out it maybe the thermostat fairly enxpensive to replace so i would replace the thermostat and check the temp again but if the water pump is leaking it needs to be replaced
