Steering rack main shaft seals leak 🤔

hi,

had my mot today. passed with advisory on power steering rack fluid leak - not excessive. i’ve been searching on here, found some helpful threads on this subject. but some are many years old and prices will be well out of date.

just wondered if some peeps could give me a ball park idea of how much it is likely to cost when i replace the rack and seals. also, where would be the best place to buy those parts?

thank you :slightly_smiling_face:

Congrats on the MOT pass! Can’t help on the advice per se, but still with celebrating one of our cars staying on the road. :blush:

gimme a quote :slightly_smiling_face:

A long while ago, while working away from home, I had a little puddle of power steering fluid under the car. I dropped in some STP stop leak power steering fluid, and that sorted it.
