Thread: Daily driver leaking power steering fluid.....

I think it will be tough to find a shop to re seal your rack. #1 they don't have the equipment and #2 more profit to just change it out. Gotta be careful @ the stealership as they like to up sale those free oil changes. The Lucas steering additive works great, just don't ad the whole bottle as it is thick and can cause stiff steering on cold days till the engine builds some heat. We use the Lucas at the shop quite a bit.

It does do that, my Vette is a little stiff until she warms up.

Isn't it a pretty easy/straightforward R&R, a handful of cylinder mounting bolts, the tie rod ends & drag link and a couple of hydraulic lines?

Not sure with out eyeballing it. Probably pretty straight forward as far as the R & R goes. Book time shows 4.2 hrs and ain't very many jobs that you can beat the book time.
