Suppose I have to replace the whole rack as it is weeping to?

Going to get my mechanic to write a report so I can take it to the car yard as I still have 10 days or 500kms left on my warranty.
Probably wont like me, but hey the steering column and weeping were an issue the day I bought it, they cleaned and said the rack was no longer leaking, but it is.

unsure if your reply was sarcasm to be honest, unsure why it would be

the easiest way to fix actuators is to replace them, they're not that expensive and can be obtained at the wreckers easily enough. There are other ways if you want to save a few dollars, do a site search

No mate wasn't sarcasm aimed you mate, sorry if it came across that way, was more at the fact that so far to fix a small leak on an au turns out needing to have the whole part replaced.

Just had to get my hi pres pwr steer line changed because the it was weeping at the fitting.

Was thinking that, genuine ford ones are $150, would put a second hand one in.

Thanks.

i've had to replace that hose on 2 au's now seems to be a common fault with them, picked mine up on ebay for $50 each
