Power steering rack and pinion leak

[72Z/28]

Hello guys

I have got this power steering rack and pinion leak problems ever since I bought my car. The rack and pinion came with the Speedtech front clip kit that was installed by the previous owner and power steering leak issues started after driving the car for only 150 miles.

I have circled the areas where power steering fluid leak is taking place.







The high pressure hose as seen in the above photo is leaking as well plus the areas circled above. I cleaned the area circled in the 3rd photo, and I did not observe any leak afterwards

I am really surprised how power steering rack and pinion failed after 150 miles of driving.

Does this mean it is the time for a new power steering rack and pinion?

Your input guys will be appreciated

Hello Blake

I don't know if it is a Unisteer rack but this came with Speedtech front clip that was purchased by my friend. I sent you a PM long time ago regarding this issue.

What style rack is it? I know with a mustang 2 you need to change the valveing on the pump to get it down to 2gal per min.
just a thought

Well I am not what style it is but it was bolted on to the Speedtech subframe kit when the kit was ordered from them.

As far as the power steering pump, I believe it is the one that comes with LS6 crate engine.
