Car Forum / Honda Cars / August 200588 Accord steering boot rips then leaks.
A friend's power steering right boot rips then begins to loose fluid really fast weeks later. I flush with genuine fluids but still leaks. I can replace the boot. Did the dirt damage the seals? What are some ways I can do to reduce the leaks. Thanks You must repair the leak before the boot is replaced. It may have been the leak (and pressure) that ruined the boot in the first place.

There is no point in replacing the boot without fixing the leak, and attempting to replace the seal in a steering rack is not something you want to tackle. Ian > You "replace" the steering rack!

Hi Shiden, Steering rack is $751 without labor. The car only values at $400. I'd replace the end seals on my own car posted here http://tinyurl.com/73q2s I won't attempt this on my friends car without good reason because the work was a pain in the neck. I like to find a quick fix on my friends car. Check out the link if anyone would like to attempt one of the most painful work. Much worse than a timing belt replacement. > A friend's power steering right boot rips then begins to loose > fluid really fast weeks later. I flush with genuine fluids but still > leaks.

The end result of flushing without fixing the leak is that your friends car will leak new rather than old fluid all over the driveway. The seal will have to be replaced, which as others have aid translates into a complete replcement of the rack. |
