I have an 87 that the rack is leaking. Do they make a rebuild kit for it at all? It looks to be some sort of seal inside the rack itself that is leaking. I would need to take it apart to see for sure, but Id also need to replace the boots as well.

If anyone has a part number for the rebuild kit, and what is included with it, or any other information I may need that would be great.

Thanks
Ryan

they do make rebuild kits. however there are parts that can wear out and be useless, iirc if the rack housing is scored/worn in anyway its worthless. You also need man SST's to rebuild the rack.

Do you happen to have a link or place that I can get my hands on said rebuild kit? Id like to see what it includes so I can take my rack apart and figure out exactly what would need to get replaced.

I can probably make any of the tools needed to take the rack apart, I guess I should pull it and see how it all comes apart and figure out what needs replacing.

A reman here is $290, and there is no way I'm spending $500 on a new rack. I would convert it over to manual rack before that happens, which I am still actually considering.
