- Sun May 01, 2011 2:24 pm #253188 I just found out my rack and pinion is leaking. Is it possible to replace my power steering rack with a manual steering rack? Or should I just buy a seal kit?

That's what I did when I removed my power steering. Just looped the lines. When I was at pull-a-part last week, I took the manual rack and subframe from a 95 coupe. I plan on swapping it out when I pull the motor. The turn ratio is better with the power rack, but I got a good enough deal on the parts to go ahead and buy them.
