Hey guys long story short I was hitting this plastic piece and it started leaking. (I didn't realize it was plastic at first) it just looks like a big bolt head when it's covered in crap, about 1&1/4" roughly. Driver side.

I decided to just tear it off to see if I can just replace it but I still can't figure it out.

Do I need a new rack? Fill it up with rtv? LOL.

You can replace that part but you'll probably need to take a trip to the junk yard to get a replacement. It may actually be better to just replace the rack. It's a ton of dirt caked up under there. No wonder you couldn't see what you were hitting.

Yeah I probably will replace it then, buddy has two parts cars I could grab racks off of.
How does the piece come out is it threaded?

It is threaded. Not really typically removed for any reason.

Gonna be a junkyard only part to find it. Nobody really has a reason to remove it so i doubt you'll find it seperate.

The old ones were metal
Should be 30mm for the plastic ones and 1- 5/16 socket for the metal ones
I used to take them apart to reseal the racks and reset the preload
