Willy 2 MOT failure, Steering Rack leaking ?

[Lathafummi]

Silly question but is there a service kit for the steering rack or is it a replacement unit? Did a Google but found lots of Jag stuff!!

Schakal on here is selling them on ebay.

Excellent cheers. Would I need a kit for both ends or does that cover it all?

[MatBrown]

I would say that covers it all.

i bought one of those kits.some of the bits the are needed are not in the kit but most of all the rack is designed in a way in which the main seal on the drivers side can not be replaced.it is fitted inside the rackdown at the bottom of the steal tubing.the steal tubing of the rack is pressed into the aluminium pinion housing then punched into it it two places and cant be removed without destroying it.oh just remembered the main power seal that fits on the chrome rod isnt in the kit.take it from my i destroyed 3 steering racks before i resigned myself to the fact that trying to reseal a clio power steering is a complete waste of time.the are also 2 slight differences in the clio power steering racks the williams rack is larger on the passenger side where the seal goes than the 16v.this seal is handy changed but no point as the other side would need changed but its impossible.hunt about for a good second hand rack of hand renault over £500 for a new one.
