Power Steering Rack Seal & Bushing Service Kit
This kit restores a rack-and-pinion steering gear to factory tightness and keeps hydraulic fluid where it belongs. It includes precision lip seals, PTFE rings, O-rings, rack bushings, dust boots, and retainers engineered to match OEM clearances for smooth, quiet steering.
Why this part is needed
Over time, heat, fluid aging, and road shock harden seals and wear bushings. You may notice leaks, heavy steering, assist fade, or a clunk on bumps. Rebuilding the rack with fresh components restores hydraulic pressure, proper centering, and steering feel, protecting the pump and tires.
How it works
The input and rack-end seals contain fluid around the pinion and rack bar. PTFE control rings meter pressure to left/right chambers, delivering balanced assist. The rack bushing supports the bar, reducing play. Boots keep dust and water out, while correct preload and grease ensure low-friction motion .
What happens if it’s broken
Expect ATF drips, foamy reservoir, whining pump, steering wander, and dead spots near center. Water intrusion rusts the rack, tearing seals faster. Driving like this risks pump failure, inner tie rod wear, and rack scoring, turning a simple rebuild into a full replacement.
Install tips
Clean bench, mark center, measure pinion preload, polish shafts, use ATF-safe grease, torque tie rods, bleed lock-to-lock, then align ✅.
