More rack repair info and pix
Well, rack repair without replacing seals is done and Rosso test driven. I tested rack with engine and power steering pump by hooking it up to a spare reservoir outside of the car and started engine while it was resting on jack.
No leaks, so I replaced bad passenger side inner tie rod end, replace bad mounting rubber bushings and put it back into car. Will have to get alignment check to verify 0 toe and set steering wheel to center as still off to left about same as before I replaced bad parts. Very responsive steering now.
