Crush washers... that's about it. Flush the system thoroughly before refilling. Also, be sure to use ATF, not PS fluid.

If you don't have the replacement lined up yet, might try Blaszak Precision in Canada.


Good Luck!

Question

Why ATF instead of power steering fluid?

That's what the manual calls for. And whatever you do, DON'T USE SYNTHETIC ATF.

Trust me...

Synthetic in a old rack (that used Dino) will do the same thing it does elsewhere in the engine and transmission: Causes the seals to swell and seep or leak. That said, I use Redline ATF (Synthetic) in my freshly rebuilt rack with no problem (22k miles, ~30 autocrosses)

Good Luck!
