Rx350 Steering Rack Replacement

[bestcar111]

Im pretty good on mech. work. But Im not totaly equipt and havent ever done steering work, Though Ive done most everything to my old chevy. What about tackleing this job? was told by alighnment shop fluis was leaking. Honestly I havent even looked at it yet,or know what it entails, my guess is a couple fluid lines tie rod ends steering shaft connection? Dont know is it pretty basic, with minimal special tools? Should I buy a manual?

Thanks for any help

Jeff

Is it covered under your warranty, or are you past do? I just did a rack on a nissan, but From what I understand the old RX300 isnt bad, not sure about the RX350....I would look under the car and see if it is really leaking.

My RX300 is 12 years old and has never leaked....

Thanks for your reply, Yes warranty expired July 7.

I have not looked underneath yet, of course that will tell a lot.
