    Default VD steering rack seals

    I have an autocross car based off of a VD RF84. The steering rack is leaking, but seems to be tight. Does anyone know where I can get seals to do a quick rebuild/cleanup and re-seal?

    Thanks,
    Kenton Cabiness

    get the id and od of the seals. Go to the local motion industries, Bearing Distributors Inc or whatever bearing house is local. They should be able to fix you up

    Default Jack Knight rack

    That's a Jack Knight steering rack, my suggestion is send it for a rebuild, there are good vendors out there.
