I use these people https://www.kileyclinton.com/ to do steering racks and they come back as good as new and a 12 months warranty. I have had racks from other suppliers that leak in a few weeks of days and apparently a lot of companies dont even leak check them and when you consider over 1000psi is involved.

Fitting the rack and finding it leaks is a complete ball ache in my view let alone getting the tracking done again.

What’s the worst that can happen! Racks off the bay are only £40 so if it comes to it an I totally knacker the one currently then I’ll just buy one and send it off for exchange
