The steering rack on my 1998 volvo 940 started leaking a year ago, and its only getting worse. Does anyone know where to buy a sealkit for that sort of things, and is it doable to install it myself ???

Are you sure its the rack and not a bad line? I have never heard of a 940 with a bad rack but then again I am in the USA maybe they are from a diff supply.

Thanks, I will try to identify the leaking point. The fluid runs/drips from the center "barrel" section where the pinion gear must be inside and the lines are bolted to. Lines seems to be attached with "banjo" looking fittings, any special trick to get them sealed right. I will try to pull booths aside and see if it leaks into them also.

Oh btw, i cant identify the unit, as type and serial numbers face upwards, but it should be ZF on this vintage.
