 How many of you whom have replaced their
 type 44 steering rack with a Jorgen unit
 have experienced a leakage failure?

 Just curious.

    I put a Jorgen rack in a friends '87 5K. I lasted 2 weeks; the boot
filled with pentosin. I contacted them; they sent me another rack. I was told
at that time they would pay me $90. labor to change it out. They charged the
second rack to my credit card. I sent the defective rack to them...I received
a letter 2 weeks later stating: they found nothing wrong with the first rack
...  yea right..I suppose in their eyes the boot was intended to fill with
oil.:>) They credited my card for the first rack, except for the shipping
charges. They refused to pay me any labor for doing the job twice. I won't be
using their services again.  Brian
