C5 X7 Steering Pipe O rings

Unread post by bishopwatusi »

Hi, does anyone know where I can get hold of some O rings for the steering rack hoses as about to swap out steering rack and don't wish to use old seals..

Many thanks,

Pete

Have a look at Bearing Boys (bearingboys.co.uk) they stock all manner of O rings in Viton and Nitrile rubber types. They are online and offer a quick service

Best of luck with the steering rack change especially the big bolts securing the rack. On mine they were very badly rusted in place, fortunately I opted to let my local independent Citroen garage do the work using a reconditioned rack from SSL in Doncaster

Thanks Ted, everything on the subframe is nicely lubed as the rack has been leaking for so long!
I collected a recon rack from SSL at Wakefield last week. Doing clutch/DMF and control arms at same time.
Think I might be sorted with seals from PatMat in Czecho..

Becarefull removing the pipes, they are soft, i changed my rack 3 times, two dodgey racks! So i got a fair bit of practice, have a look here, for my modification.
