Ok, so the Rack and Pinion is leaking a tad from the drivers side bellow boot. Which means ONE THING! Bad seal... Now! It only leaks when it's lifted on Stands. Also, is there a kit that I can purchase so I don't replace the ENTIRE RACK? I would hate to do so...

But if I did replace the rack, I would get the camber adjustment kit for the front... and get it all done at one time. :)

Anyhow, lemme know what's best.

Perhaps better late than never.

You'll have to R & R the rack. Replacement of the rack seals is not practical in the field.

How much time- approximately- will it take for the average wrencher to R&R the rack? Mine currently is leaking enough that the car smokes after 10 min. of stop and go. Are there any specific spots I should go extra heavy on the blaster? Also, will the tried and true chalk line in the tire toe-in be sufficient to drive it to alignment, or should I tow it? I'm so confused!!!
