1988 90q steering rack woes

[james accordino]

Yes.  I replaced a torn rack boot once.  You can do it
without completely removing the rack.  Rack failed in
> 6 months anyway.  Not sure I'd do it again.  It
tough to know how long it was open or how much small
particles got inside.  Racks don't tolerate dirt well.
 Even small amounts of very small particles seem to
cause failure.  Rack change is not the hardest job,
but not as easy as say changing an alt.  If you can do
a TB job, you can probably R+R a rack.
