Looking for a place to purchase the seal kit. Mainly looking for the transducer orings. Also looking for the plastic cover the goes over the spline. When my mechanic was pulling it off it broke.

 

So I went ahead and went to the dealer, which I HATE doing, to get the o-ring set for the rack. They had everything, at $9 per o-ring, except for the set that goes to the transducer. I have looked everywhere and I can get the set if I buy the transducer.....at $600....NOT. Still looking for an option if anyone could suggest.

 

OK now just looking for the transducer o-ring. In order to get that I have to by the transducer at $600. Anyone have an idea where I can get one

 

I have an old redundant parts car and if you can identify/describe the exact item and location I may be able to help, no charge.

 

The oring between the transducer and the Rack in pinion steering. The transducer is the box that sits above the rack.

 

if you could also see if you can get the plastic dust cover that goes over the spline that would be great

 

I'll take a look see tomorrow and see what I have. Still trying to identify the parts you mention. Leave it with me.

 

So, in an effort to clarify or identify the parts you need, I've attached pics of the rack, as it is out of the car. Perhaps you could enlighten me.

 

So I need the plastic piece if you can get it off without breaking which it is really hard and the square box which it the transducer. I will take the whole thing but mainly need just the oring

 

That's fine. I'll have a look at it tomorrow and see how I get on. I'll keep you posted.

 

So I got the bits off that I think you need. Pic shows the plastic dust cover, the transducer complete with rubber "O" rings and filter. If they're any good to you. Pm me an address and I'll pop them in the post. Coming from Ireland so I'm not sure how long they'll take. OK?

 

This is why the forum is so great. People like this. I asked him the cost of shipping and he told me to just pay it forward. Nice!

 

Following with great interest as I just removed a prodigious leaker from my 95 DD and fit a leak-free unit from the T-Bone car. I fancy rebuilding the leaker for further fitment to the 97 Rescue project which may be a slow leaker... or may just have a porous hose or two. In any event, would like to correct the leaker for the eventual, though certain day when one of the others springs a leak.

Phil,
I understand $9 per o-ring, but how many are there? If possible, do you mind posting the part numbers and quantity of the ones you acquired from the dealer?

Thanks in advance

 

i’d definitely measure the ring and find a generic

 

What does the transducer do?

 

It's what makes the steering "Speed Sensitive."

 

Hi cdma. Just checking in to see if those rack parts ever arrived. Hope they didn't go astray in the post!
