pepperjack26 Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 (edited) Had this on my wife's rig - gm envoy. Ended up with a new rack/pinion - as one of the seals was just done. Not sure the amount of work on our rigs, but likely need a new unit. She was leaking about a quart per week - or 2 trips to town - which ever came first. Have a mechanic take a look? or head down to a tire/alignment shop for their suggestion. Edited October 17, 2015 by pepperjack26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0merta Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Get a new one. Only a matter of time before it goes for good. Even the "Stop Leak" stuff you can add to the fluid wont last. You most likely have a torn boot, which can be even more of a headache over time. They're fairly easy to replace. I got my replacement rack from Detroit Axle on ebay. They have a few options, but the rack itself is under $200. A lot cheaper than $300+ at the parts stores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
