Steering Rack Leaks

Recommended Posts

Worried about this one long term.... drivers side (LHD) boot showing some signs of weeping, boot starting to perish.  According to the ford dealer the oil seals wear inside the rack and it starts to leak, its also non-serviceable, new rack required, 4000 AED + labour at about 300 AED++/hr.  Common issue?  Anyone got any experience / fixes / tales of woe?

Not a common issue at all, on ANY model year of Edge/MKX, at least in the U.S. and Canada.  Can't speak to experiences in hotter climates, as we have insufficient active representation on this board.  But I hope omar302 chimes in, as he IS in the Middle East, and digs up all kinds of useful information.

 

Mainly leaks have been the axle seals or PTU or steering pump hose (banjo bolt).  Rarely, a trans cooler line.
