Default steering rack leak

Passenger side seal leaking, doesn't seem to be much. Should I keep an I on it or just replace the unit?


Shop guy says all they do is use rebuilds rather than replace the seals, and I can't find any major brand online that offers for Durango. Anyone know of a good unit that would hold up off-road?

There really isn't any "Heavy Duty Use" P&P's that I know of. They are mostly just OEM units. And yes the shops would rather install a whole new R&P instead of replacing a O ring because they make more money and the part is warrantied. You could try to replace the seal but I have never tried and I don't know much about them other than it being a regular "Ram Style Hydraulic Tube", but again never done one of these.
