rack & pinion

Post by: **nyse** » Tue Jul 29, 2008 9:37 pm

Hey all...1991 Lotus Elan, Houston, TX here.

About a week ago I see a leak coming from the engine area and learn that it is power steering fluid. Took the car in today (to general mechanic) and they want to either replace or rebuild the entire rack and pinion...

Anyone have any insight into this problem at all? Any information or insight is greatly appreciated.

nyse, think you have the wrong site, we are all stuck in a time warp between 1963 and about 1974 :lol:

try this site http://www.lotuselancentral.com/

Wrong site but I can give you some help! If you are in Houston locate Jack Lee as I sold him my M100 and he has lots of good connection with local shops and with Lotus Club in area. You can find him on the LotusElanCentral site as he goes by fubar. Tell him hi from an old friend in Iowa.

Racks are also very prone to needing rebuilt in M100's

Best of luck
