I NEED HELP ASAP PLZ CENTRAL J BODIES
Tuesday, September 16, 2008 7:32 PM
Well this what happend I have a small hole in the line where is the red cirlce and is about needle size hole, I think that when i was putting the header on i probably dented the line a little bit and the time went by the pressure of the power steering made the metal line to crack at the point. any ways I would like to know if i can just replace the line?

I went to autozone and they dont have it they just have the whole rack and pinion assembly, same thing with advanced discount auto parts.

auto zone $130 for the whole assembly and $65 core fee.

discount $160 and $75 core fee.

I dont even need the whole assembly i check everything and its fine. can you guys give me an advice im about to go to the junk yard and pull out the line i want to know if its worth it ah and by the way anyone need any parts from U PULL U PAY IN orlando area let me know ill check on it.

When the motor rubbed a hole in my brake line, a family friend got some kind of pipe connector. He cut the hole out and joined it back together with no problems. Was a temporary fix that lasted, and i'm sure is still on the car even now.

Which line is it? There is 2 in the picture, is it the upper one, or lower one? The upper lookes like it has a plastice sealed connection to the rack, where the lower looks to be a removable type.
