Power steering dead at track.

What we call "enthusiasm" those close to us view as "mental illness"- starting to wonder who is right. It is reckoned that the second sign of madness is when hairs start growing on the palms of our hands- the first sign is when we start looking for them!

Bummer- just goes to show no matter how hard one tries to keep on top of things the 928 still bites you in the *** no matter!

Replacement rack back from re-builder and bolted up. The service turn around time was quick.
Will Flush P/S fluid tonight and hopefully be on the road tomorrow.
-Does anybody else struggle with getting steering knuckle "u-joint" off and on?

So what did the guy say about the necropsy of his first rebuild? Anything?

Prying open the knuckle apart to get it to slide on easily is a PITA. Spend some quality time with my hydraulic press and selection of chisels. Then more time cleaning out the splines. Came very close to ordering a new one from Roger, but I really wanted to get it done for this weekend, and the part would have been coming from Germany and would not have been here in time

File under seemed like a good idea at the time:
The rebuilders send a little plastic container of sealant for the banjo bolt crush washers. That is a good idea.
My my "good" idea was to drop the washers into the little container so that when I was under the car, I would pull them out all coated, clean and ready to go.
Problem is, dropping them in there started the curing process for the sealant and by the time I was ready to use them, it had hardened into useless bits....
So not only did it not save time or effort, it was a major pain to clean the "new" crush washers.
Hope somebody learns from my mistake.
