Power Steering Racks - Fluid Leakage

91peugeot02

BULLETIN NO. 428


DATE: SEPTEMBER, 1991


SUBJECT: FLUID LEAKAGE FROM POWER STEERING RACKS

MODELS: ALL 405 AND 505 VEHICLES


The Warranty Parts Inspection/Testing Area has received several power steering racks that have been replaced due to leakage of power steering fluid from the protective boots at the tie rod ends. Please be advised that there is no fluid circulation through the steering rack itself, only the pinion valve. Therefore, when fluid leakage is detected from the rack housing or protective boots, replace only the power steering pinion valve not the entire rack assembly.

NOTE: STEERING RACK ASSEMBLIES RETURNED TO THE WARRANTY DEPARTMENT FOR THIS CONDITION WILL BE RETURNED TO THE DEALER AND YOUR WARRANTY CLAIM WELL BE DEBITED FOR BOTH PARTS AND LABOR.
