    UPDATE: ok I've had a few problems going on and couldn't work on my gtp, I started last night, I removed both little power steering lines that's on the rack and pinion, no holes, then realized there was a little straight pipe going from boot to boot on the rack and pinion, felt like drivers side was in but not passenger, how do I get it more secure in the boots, would pipe clamps work,I think this is my problem,have yall heard of this causing problems before?hears a pic of the line http://i1121.photobucket.com/albums/...psxqr75m7n.jpg

    It seems as if they just slide in the rubber boots

    yup on the back side of the rack that metal tube just sits in the the boots on the inside connecting them together., theres a hole for the tube to live in. you may need a zip tie to hold the boot in place.

    It flops a little so I thinking about buying some little pipe clamps and putting them on, all my fluid was coming out from the passenger side, at least I know the little ones aren't bad, the fat lines look ok and I got back up of them just in case

    if you had fluid leaking out of the boot thats the seal on the rack leaking. those boots are nothing more then a dust boot. that metal tube, the only purpose i cant see for it is to let air come out of the boot when it compresses to the other boot thats now stretching out.

    It looked like fluid coming out of it, so fluid doesn't travel through that line? And with the boot I don't see any leaking out of it, there isn't to much to the power steering system so I'll track it down if that's not the problem

    dont think theres supposed to be fluid in that thin line. see if its wet inside the boots, they should be dry.

    all mine did was connect to the dust boots.

    I can't check it today, it's raining, but how could fluid end up there then, I thought some say if the boots rip fluid will come out then replace the r&p, I'm guess I'm going to put the clamps on it and put it all back together and fill it up and crank it and get under it and look

    like i said, the boot is nothing more then a dust boot, its the end seals that leak. so if the boots are leaking the seal is leaking. if there fluid in the boot, then it can push fluid into that thin line that connects the 2 boots.

    i cant see any other way for fluid to get into that line.

    I know it has me puzzled to, but the boots seem to be ok, I've got the line in the house with me, I stuck a napkin on the end and blew on it and I swear it came out, I still have the taste in my mouth

    lol yuck.

    lets put it this way, my old rack just quit life, no leaks. the first used one got dropped off with 2 wet boots, i sent it back, told them to get me one with dry boots, next day a bone dry rack was delivered, (it still had fluid in it, they just cut the lines off it) its worked perfectly and the boots are still dry.

    so wet boots are no good.

    I bet replacing the r&n is rough, idk if it's what I need then, with fluid in the car the steering performs great
