Steering Gear Rack Leak

[Val Valdez]

Anyone know how to fix this leak coming from one of the lines (See photo). Can't find a replacement part for that line. seems like there should be an o ring but there wasn't an old one there. I tried teflon on the threads. didn't work.

Unfortunately you won't find a replacement part, it is part of the rack. Maybe a hydraulic repair shop can make one or your local salvage yard

I just had the same problem with my 07 Jeep. That is a hydraulic transfer line. In my case I had no choice but to replace the entire rack because there were no replacement lines available from any source, including rebuilder Cardone. Junkyard part is a possibility, but risky for breakage while removing, AND part interchange between model years). Best of luck.
