just got done removing the front suspension, rack and master cylinder, and now i need to know some stuff...

i found a 19mm mc on pelican for $170., is this the cheapest price?

the rack has a ripped boot w/ some fluid in it. Do i need to rebuild the rack? is there a kit and where can i find one? What kind of fluid?

Turbo tie rods, they are on ebay all day long for $100. All the same? Good price?

I think i can get some new brake line at KOI up the street, just need to bend it up, not sure what else i would need besides alot of scrubbing and POR15 and undercoat, thanks for any help w/ this. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/type.gif)

Why do you think you need to rebuild the rack? is there slop side to side in your wheel? 1st check that all your U-joints are tight in the steering linkage/shaft.
Not much you can do to a rack to screw it up, unless you take it apart. I just did that to see what was in it. NOTHING only seal is at the top where the shaft goes in. both rack ends have a brass bushing. What you see as a leak is probably 30 years of melting grease. Just put new boots on it which come with the new tie rod kits. The only thing that can be done besides buying all new parts is try putting a thin shim under the cap at the bottom of the pinion. (that diamond shaped thing with two 13mm bolts) I doubt that you even need this all it does is add pressure to the under side of the rack gear teeth.
