Steering rack replacement

Matthews 855 T5 · Jul 24th, 2012, 18:55

Sad day!

My rack is leaking fluid on the drivers side. When I pull the bellows off the rack it drips fluid.

My mot is booked in for Thursday so we will see what they say.

How many hours will a garage take to replace the rack?

I just had my rack, pump and UJ knuckle replaced and the garage charged me £105 labour if that helps.

Local garage that I always use and have used for about 30 years. The car is back there at the moment as the reconditioned rack is leeking, No quibble on the warranty with it.
