[s-cars] Brake booster + steering rack boot

[Thomas R Green]

Have you started repairing brake boosters now Dave?

I don't know of an alternative other than a used unit, Wayne.  It  
could be
some rubber hose debris caught in the check valve.  I would try some  
flushing
before changing it.  Maybe use the Redline PSF to flush.

For the steering rack, you can buy a boot.  Putting it on is like  
changing the
rack, though.
