Hey Guys, so i was recently getting an oil change and the guy @ the shop told me i need a power steering flush, said the fluid is dirty. Since he said that I've been able to notice a bit of a noise coming from the wheels, a rotational noise. Nothing crazy, just sounds and feels like I have some new loud tires or something. So i had a look at the steering rack & i have a leak from the passenger side inner tie rod. The tie rod is wet, and i have some grease that kicked up onto the side of my front passenger door. I haven't had a chance yet to take the boot off and have a look, but for now I was just looking for some advice on what to look for as far as diagnosing the problem goes. I've seen parts on Rockauto for seal kits, tie rods, etc...and when I open this up I want to get an idea of what I should be checking or looking to replace.

if anyone has some info please let me know, i will try and put some pics up later today when i get into it.

From what I have seen, the seals arnt replaceable without special tools. Buy a new rack.
