Rack and Pinion

[junjay]

Good Day. Need help on my car, Toyota Altis 2003 1.6e manual, the power steering fluid is decreasing. One mechanic check it already and the problem is rack and pinion, unfortunately he cannot repair it. He is suggesting to replace the whole assembly wherein the price is in the range of 50k-70k.... . One suggest to use a repair kit, ok ba yung repair kit? TIA

Ok lang ang repair kit basta oil leakage lang ang problema. Siguraduhin mo lang na marunong ang gagawa at may special tool para sa installation ng seal. Pinaka madalas kasing problema ay nasusugat ang bagong seal during installation kapag hindi maingat ang gagawa kaya tatagas pa rin. Mas mabuti sa casa mo na lang ipa-install, bili ka na lang ng seal kit sa labas.
