08 dodge ram 1500 rack and pinion issues
So about a month ago the rack in our 08 dodge ram 1500 hemi. We replaced it which lasted us about two weeks then we lost steering and the boots were filled with fluid. We replaced it again and after two days the rack when again the same thing the steering went and the boots were filled with fluid. Granted we got remanufactured ones but we didn't think that would matter. We were told it could be caused from the knuckles or stops being bad. Anyone else have this issue.
Two rack and pinion outer seal failures in one week is a real pain.
That boot is a dust seal for the steering system, and for the inner tie rod. The inner tie rod will have grease on it, but I'm sure you know the difference between grease and fluid.
I recommend finding the source of the leak. Run the engine and watch for a leak. If leak is coming from the steering system then you would need to take it back, hopefully under warranty.
The leak is ATF+4, correct?
