Hey everyone,
I purchased a re-manufactured Power steering rack from Rock Auto and dropped it into my Le Baron (the old power steering rack was leaking out at the tie rod seals).
However, the pressure-line fitting coming from the pump does not go in all the way into the fitting on the new rack.
I don't want to over-tighten it, and it doesn't want to sit as flush against the fitting on the rack as the old one did.
Long story short, the new rack is leaking at the fitting. Has anyone had this same experience before? Is it possible they didn't tap the threads on the rack-side fitting as deep as they should have?
Other than dropping the cross-member and swapping the rack out for a 3rd one, is there any other fix or troubleshooting that can be done?
Thanks!
