Rebuilding a powered rack

Ive tried searching for answers buy i just find all information on removing powersteering.

Im trying to find out where i can have my rack rebuilt or if theres a rebuild kit for keeping the steering rack powered.

I've never ran across a rebuilt kit for them.

What exactly happened to yours?

I had a ps leak and when i was looking for where the leak was coming from. i needed to add fluid.

well i had two of the same style bottles from advance auto parts .. one with brake fluid and the other with powersteering.

i had someone hand me the bottle and didnt exactly look and put brake fluid in my res.

my boots are all torn to hell and im pretty sure the seals are leaking on the rack now.

i looped my line for the time being but now that i pulled my motor out i want to go through and make sure my rack is good so i can keep it powered.

Mazda steering gear seal kit = FD01-32-180. About $100.

Boots are not included in that rebuild kit. The replacement boots are FD01-32-125A and FD02-32-125A.

however i can tell you pretty much every one I talked to who has done it has not looked back and is very happy with the result
