Hicas Steering Rack Rebuild...

[urbanoperations]

hi all

just got my new car a R31 import and it has a Leaky Hicas Steering Rack.. i took the boots off because they are split and they have a fair amount of PWS fluid in them.... All the fitings are tight so i say its coming past the Seals inside the steering rack....

Anyone know if i can buy a rebuild kit or something and do it myself or should i cop the price and go to a steering joint and get them to rebuil it?

anyone Know an Approxiamate price??

Cheers all

sounds like the same problem i have on my GTSx Coupe too ..... ive been thinking to remove some of the hoses and fittings and getting new washers.. but that could be just wasting my time and money.

i'll keep an eye on this post.

i'll pm ya if i have any news on getting mine sorted too.

Remove the unit and get a locker bar for it.

nuff said, HICAS isn't worth keeping if you know how to actually drive

no because i have a Simple on Or Off Switch for hicas in my boot... and its not as easy as removing it, if you had an idea of how differant the hicas setup is on an R31 to an R32 it is very differant. it uses 2 seperate pumps on each control arm to move the Control arms minimal degrees, so i would rather keep it all standard because im not into drifting it....
