Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

You can drop the front subframe and replace the transfer pipes with the rack hanging from the lines.

A search gives lots of info on the jubilee clip on the crimp fitting but it looks like it's my hard lines that run along the rack that have corroded through.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Looks like my steering rack has sprung a leak. A search gives lots of info on the jubilee clip on the crimp fitting but it looks like it's my hard lines that run along the rack that have corroded through. It looks like you can buy them pretty cheap. Anyone else replaced these? If so, any useful tips? Here's the crusty boys in question.

POST 2Original post

Try removing the feed and return lines to the rack so you can pull it out sideways, but if they're stuck, don't force them or they break apparently. You can drop the front subframe and replace the transfer pipes with the rack hanging from the lines. You'll need an alignment after. The pipes I got from power steering store fitted really well and were £42. Hope that helps.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks. Have ordered new rack lines and removed all the arms that were in the way so I can drop the subframe. Plan is to just drop the rack rather than remove as I've read that the high pressure lines WILL NOT budge, and at £500 I'd rather not ***** them up if they are still ok. Did you have any bother with removing the old lines? I'm planning to cut the lines so I can get a proper 6 sided socket on the fittings. Just a bit concerned about the usual steel into aluminium issues. Wonder if it's better to use the ugga dugga gun.

POST 4Original post

When I did mine (crusty rather than leaking) I changed the brake pipe too with a porsche part. The design had changed - old one went under a bracket whereas the new one went over it. Filling up with fuel the week before not one of my better decisions - the subframe holds the tank in place and you have to prop it up with a jack.
