Power steering rack low pressure o rings?
Posted: Sun Apr 05, 2015 1:32 amI'm replacing my power steering rack and it came with 2 small o-rings but when I took it apart I didn't see any o-rings. Are they needed?

Posted: Mon Apr 06, 2015 3:40 pmThe two lines that go into the rack are flare fittings they DO NOT have or need an O-ring to seal. The only places you will find o-rings would be the power steering pressure switch and where the the high pressure line meets the top of the pump.
Thin red lines show where the O-rings are from Honda you shouldn't even need to replace these as there is no need to remove them to replace the rack. The thick red circle are the three fittings that go into the power steering rack notice they DO NOT have o-rings.
