Hi
Started one job and have ended up looking at something else!
The track rod end gaiters on the steering appear to be leaking grease. Where can I get replacement gaiters and how bad is it to replace them? My RR is a 2011 4.4 VSE TDV8.
Anyone have any pics of how to change them??
Thanks in advance…..
Regards
Mark

Do you mean the ball joints on the track rod end or the steering rack gaiters?
If the former, it's replacement track rod ends, if the latter, it's gaiters and proper clamps - cable ties won't do.

Track ends removed from hub, then remove the trackrod end from the rack end, undo the gaiters and pop them off... it sound easy but rarely goes the way you want when it's jacked up on the drive...!! A motor factor should be able to get them, or the main dealer...

You may have an internal leak and power steering fluid is getting pumped into the rack, check the fluid level before anything else... Pete

Sorry….wasn’t absolutely clear…..it’s the steering rake gaiters that are leaking….
