I was wondering if its at all possible to repair the steering rack if its leaking fluid. The bellows have holes in them, and every time I turn it drips a little bit of power steering fluid out. And I was wondering if I replace the bellows if that would solve the problem or if its because the oil sealant rings in the steering rack are shot. Any ideas would be a big help. thanks

NO

The bellows are just to keep dust out. (ps mine leaks alittle too !!

Back in the day you could get a seal kit and rebuild it.

Just 2 seals on each end very easy job and if you felt froggy replace the piston like rings on the upper portion of the rack--- If you had half a brain I am not sure anymore if you can get the kits I got mine from the dealer.
