ironpaw Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 OK back on track. Apparently my Power steering rack is weeping oil from the pinion seal. I found this on some site: Yes, you can replace just the "boots" on the end of a rack-and-pinion steering provided that the mechanism is not damaged. Unfortunately, the boot is just a dust cover and if the inner mechanism has started leaking there really isn't much that can be done without completely disassembling the mechanism. The fluid in a rack assembly is under pressure from the power steering pump and once it starts leaking the rack is pretty much "done". Is this true? Iain do u still have the steering rack from the wreck? does it really matter? I can see the fluids are a little low but I can just top it up I suppose..

zei20l Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 yeah i have it, but at the moment its being used in a jig as for people looking for M35 stuff, there is an entire forum for this exact thing. we have just been a little lax in creating the FAQs. but its there if you want to browse or add info to it Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/185569-m35-info/page/66/#findComment-5949592 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunc Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 OK back on track. Apparently my Power steering rack is weeping oil from the pinion seal. I found this on some site: Is this true? Iain do u still have the steering rack from the wreck? does it really matter? I can see the fluids are a little low but I can just top it up I suppose.. Not to keep it too on topic with M35 info; but you've just reminded me that we noticed this on my car a couple of months ago - and it was no worse many weeks after that iniital spotting (when we did my sway bars). A very slow weep. Fluid levels are still fine also. Would be interested to know the verdict on how much a new rack might fetch. Theres been a few M35s wrecked in the country, and several brought in for parting out - and yet we're still not seeing an abundance of parts avaliable Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/185569-m35-info/page/66/#findComment-5949895 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigkevracer Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Is V35 the same or are AWD steering racks different (showing my lack of knowledge here...). Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/185569-m35-info/page/66/#findComment-5949950 Share on other sites More sharing options...
wht510 Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 All good questions. How about getting it recoed? I know some of the power steering companies can do them in under half a day.

bigkevracer Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 'Always works'? He told me you have to solder it up every couple of months...
