So i just got my 89 supra n/a 5-speed targa, it just developed a wobble in the steering and slightly pulls to the left and is prematurely wearing my drivers side front tire. the previous owner said les shwaub tire co. told him that it needed front control arm bushings. upon further inspection of my rack and pinion i discovered the passenger side boot is torn all the way around and its just kinda chillin there hanging meanwhile the rack is leaking large amounts of oil from where said boot used to be. i assume that there is the possibility of a bad seal in my rack and pinion causing my steering issues so that leads to my 2 questions for supramania. btw i know it sounds ridiculous but i am building this car on a budget (i've been on a craigslist vehicle trading rampage that finally lead to a supra!!)
Q1) should i repair the rack and pinion myself and just buy the replacement seal and below kit instead of spending the $300.00 for a reman rack (remember budget)
Q2) If rebuilding the rack is a plausible idea then does anyone have any tips or tricks from past experience
I would really like to keep my power steering, a bad car accident last year messed up my shoulders pretty bad and im not the mean badass i once was
p.s. thanks for the help in advance supramania!!!
