OK, have you ever rebuilt/resealed a rack and pinion?? I have. First thing is that it takes more time than the thing is worth. Second is that it takes more special tools than you can imagine.
Now, having said that, what does it take to replace a rack?? Some cars, it is not too hard. Other cars, you have to just about disassemble the car. I have seen racks that paid over 6 hours in the warranty book to change.
Next, what does happen when you lose power assist?? At any speed over creeping at a stoplight, not much. Steering gets a bit harder, but certainly not impossible or life threatening. As a matter of fact, Ford introduced variable assist power steering early in the 1990s. It varies from full assist at low speeds to almost no assist at road speeds. Therefore, there is NO RISK OF LIFE involved.
Now, this comes from a group of people that will: 1) put a piece of tape over the warning lights on an instrument panel 2) compromise the safety devices in the fuel system by bypassing things like inertia switches and the like.
But suddenly leaking power steering becomes life threatening??? NOT!!!!!!!

The soil is a rich dark brown and is well looked after. unlike some areas in the midlands it is also fairly flat, broken only by hedgerows and the occasional valley and brook. A copse of wildbreaking silver birch and oak trees surround the top si
