i think i finally tracked down my PS leak. it looks like it's leaking at the hardline (red circle in this pic):




Part 46289B i think:




is that replaceable or do i need a whole new R&P? how hard is it to replace? i can see that the hardline is damp all the way up to the point where i circled in the first pic so i'm pretty sure it's leaking out of that connection.

any tips would be greatly appreciated. TIA!

For as much work as you're gonna have to do to get the thing out you might as well just get a remanufactured rack.

That's exactly where my leak is lol. It is possible to get to without removing the rack but a REAL PIA, there's a small o ring on the hardline that has failed.

should i just order a replacement oring or the whole hard line?

what would i have to take off to get to it?

All I took off was the big plate/brace or whatever that is and unbolted the drivers side sway bar bracket. I'm just going to take the old o ring to the gasket place here in town and have them match it up. A new hardline would probably be the "best" fix, but I'm not sure if the o rings would come with it and probably have to remove more stuff if not the whole rack to replace. Depending on what you're going to do and how soon, I'll grab a couple o rings when I get mine, if you haven't fixed it by then I'll send you one :thumbsup

FYI when i was reading through the archives, i thought someone had issues with getting the o-ring to work when they just tried to match the size rather than ordering the actual replacement part. lemme try find the thread.
