I have heard you can just change the outmost seals

 

ehehe true story! but i can´t seem to find just the seal, only the whole kit and with shipping to Portugal it is around 70€/80$ (because in europe seems to be out of stock everywhere) , then i need to find someone who can do it because i i have never done it and lack the tools/elevator, and around here people who repair those things i spoke to tell me there is 50% chance it gets fixed and 50% the leak wont stop (don´t ask me why). Only in UK i found a place who refurbishes it for 200pounds, so my options seem to be:

- Refurbish for 200 pounds + shipping to UK (30 pounds)
- Fix this leak for 120/150€ parts (whole kit avaiable only) and labour (for just the leaking side) and risk it never becoming fixed
- 150€ for a used one (ebay) and risk it starts leaking anytime
- 300€ for a refurbished one (https://www.bandel-online.de/informa...fand/pfand.htm) with warranty

 

well been searching some more and it seems:

mna3890ab is RHD
mna3891ab is LHD

 

This is what I found on Ebay some time back , need to confirm the correct kit

I never done the job

on ebay i found in USA 35€ + 35€ postage!

but can´t seem to find anyone on my country willing to do the job with efficiency and capable of giving me a warranty (of 3/6months).

Just orderer a refurbished!

 

There is a shim you may want to consider before installation to reduce the slop in mating gaps on the frame

I have a installation Jaguar manual that you can take to the garage so they will be more willing to give you a grantee

What shim is that?

Hi Parker,

I wrote a DIY giving some history on these bushings and showing how I made and installed my own:

Steering Rack Stiffening Bushes DIY

Cheers,

That's where I remembered it
tions

Paulofvfreitas , if you look from the top of the engine compartment to the bottom through the steering rack you may see a air gap if the light is right from the bottom of the car

The attached file below has some installation instructions

 

 

The other Doc I had does not have full installation instructions but that one has the area of the importance of lining up the index marks on the circle pattern before installation
