stering rack reseal?
Part of the "fun" of home repair is repairing the component. I always rebuild my own starters, alternators and p/s componentry.
Has anyone heard of a source for power steering rack seals? I have never changed these but I bet is is possible/easy. I have a 91 4.0 extended

after going around a curve at 85 mph and tie rod comes apart from being non-greasable.
van is on top so easy to get at and tie rod joint is now easy to grease also.

I've had mine a touch over 90, but that speed cut out really hits hard, you think the van's going to explode.
First time I hit that limiter, I thought we were all done for. The van shook and jerked like nobody's business. Once we slowed under 90 and the van smoothed out again, I figured out what it was.
As it is, mine runs nice and smooth, even at 85, but I don't drive like that very often. Mostly when passing a line of cars on the hiway. Most of the time, it's usually 65-70 w/ cruise control.
