Start assembling all seals with the new ones in the rack and pinion seal kit. There are two on the rack housing one in the front and one behind. There are a few seals in the pinion housing which i forgot to take pictures of but a schematic diagram from the service manual at the end of the article will help to locate the seals. It is important to change the rack seals as an assembly do not try removing the green tiny seal at the end of the bushing. The kit comes with a lot of seals so this could easily get mixed up. I almost made the mistake.

once you are done changing the seals, start assembling the components back.

Our Rebuilt steering rack. During assembly, remember to grease the pinion housing and the rack end that meets with the pinion. Greasing reduces friction between both components.

This is a schematic diagram you can use to locate the seals on the pinion housing. You can check your factory service manual to get the right one for your vehicle.
