couple leaky ?'s with pics

Can rebuild or do i need to replace the rack. Looks like upper seal is shot, no noise or whine.




and this one, shaft input seal?








thanks

I'd remove the boots to see how bad the leak is. I'd get a OEM reman if it is really bad.

Here is a link for the transfer case. Thank member BFAD for it sometime:

Looks like your rack is leaking where they all do. The upper seal? Not on the rack itself but sorta where the steering shaft inputs the rack?

-Just throw some Lucas P/S stop leak in there, worked for my old one. It will continue to get worse overtime, so if you've got the cash to replace it you might as well

Is that PS leak really bad enough warrant replacement? I don't really see anything that I would even bat an eyelash at...

Even the TC leak isn't bad... just make sure you are topped off with gear oil.

not your first priority but your steering rack bushings look a little sad :nerd:

I guess niether of them is terrible, i just hate leaks! The ps leak has about emptied the reservior, i will fill it and see how long it last. What gear oil for the TC? Guess i should order some bushings huh?

What is that part of the rack called where is leaking? It is leaking from the verticle part where the shaft inputs to the rack, under the driver side.

Thanks LittleCeaser for the link and BFAD for the write up! I finally got the time to get this done and everything went smooth, just one quick question, is 80-90 gear oil ok? Didnt have any 75 at my local parts joint. Thanks!

You're welcome. Thanks for using it... The best part of doing a write up is seeing people actually use it to work on their vehicle.

80-90 should be fine.
