Alright People.Has anyone had a leaky steering rack after about a year from gsf,cost around 170 or so.It was a MOT failure the year previously with excess play not leaks.This years MOT they picked up the rack was seeping but nothing major.Now the thing is pi**ing out from both gaiters. Where do i stand with this......Cheers.....

get a reconditioned rack mate, or put an add in the ''parts wanted'' section on the zone, someone must have one!

2nd hand racks only come with a 3month warranty dont they?
$170 for one - thats a pretty good price. I just swaped one out on my e30 and it was $300 second hand from parramatta prestige.
reco they wanted $750

from what i have read it can be kind of a pain but cetinly doable
