Power steering rack attachment
I have a 1993 2350Z with Merc 454 and Bravo 1. Whilst tubing a couple of days ago, the steering became heavy and inspection revealed a thin coating of condensed power steering fluid mist over the engine and engine bay. Closer inspection revealed pooled power steering fluid in the carpet and over all equipment at the rear starboard corner, close to the batteries and junctions of the power steering hoses to the rack. On searching for the leak (which I have not yet found), turning the steering wheel with the engine off, to look for ousing fluid, I noted that the entire rack mechism rocks from side to side when the steering is turned from side to side, i.e. it appears loose.
Does anyone have diagrams or description of where the attachments are that fasten the steering rack to the ending/drive. Access is very difficult and almost certainly requires blind use of spanners etc, knowing where the fasteners are.
Any help welcomed.
Clive
