May 5, 20205 yr Hi to All, Last week I finished a Power steering upgrade on my 91' Brat. The Donor was an 83 GL. After a While of driving I had a minor oil Leak from the drivers side Connecting Rod. I suspected this could happen....but I wanted to give it a Try. ¿Does anyone has a parts detail for this rack, in order to rebuild it? More....are they rebuildable? Saludos! Rafael
May 9, 20205 yr How was it to remove the rack? I also have a leak on my GL driver side. Seems to be inner rod. Is it easy enough to do under the car? Haven't had time to look much.
May 10, 20205 yr Rafael, They are rebuildable! I can’t find the part numbers for the seals but I know I’ve seen them at some point in time on a forum... I’d like to redo mine too Hopefully someone will have those part numbers Cheers Bennie
May 10, 20205 yr Author Hi to All and thanks for tour answers. @Turkeyberry, removing the rack is quite easy. I unbolted the inner rods from the rack, then loose the the steering column joint, the 2 hyd lines that go into the steering, near the column, then you remove the 4 bolts that hold the rack in place. oh yes, and you have to remove the exhaust from the headers to the resonator. This may be tricky if you have seized bolts... @el_freddo, yes, I found a shop near me that will rebuild it for about 40 USD. Saludos! Rafa Edited May 10, 20205 yr by Rafavidmess Misspelling
May 10, 20205 yr $40USD a good price? I’d imagine it would cost more over here but that would be relative to cost of living vs wages etc. Cheers Bennie
May 26, 20205 yr yeah I need to find a place that will rebuild, but would prefer to diy, can anyone find a reference or place to find the main seals and rubber boots? just a link would be nice
May 30, 20205 yr Author Just mounted back my rebuilt rack. After all the reassembly I ended up with a strange “no return” feeling in the steering. Also the wheels show a Positive camber... I read in another post that the control arm bolts have to be retightened AFTER placing the car back in the ground... will do that. any other advice would be welcomed
