The funny thing was he said nothing about the Coupe Quattro behind him. Then, he would have to try and explain how the Servotronic steering system works, and that ain't happening!

@SrtTunin the leak you are seeing is the seal that is internal of the rack and pinion.

a boot is more or less just a dust boot. so yes you do need to replace the whole rack and pinion. Make sure you get an 2 wheel alignment afterward or you will ruin a set of tires.

Nice video man. I have a 04 srt neon that started spraying fluid out of the drivers side boot of my car after jacking it and moving the tires back and fourth. I am to replace the whole rack and pinion i assume. Im guessing replacing just the boot isnt an option. Any tips for me?
