vts power steering pipe

[Spartan luke]

My saxo vts has been lowered and this has made the steering rod rub a hole in a metal pipe which is now leaking. Any one eles had this problem that could give me a bit of help.

Quite a common thing, you need a new pipe. They're pretty much the same across the model years. Scrappy job though, they're bloody pricey from the dealer. When you fit the new one, bend it up slightly over the tie rod before tightening...stops it happening again.

iv just priced them up. 1 pipe is £15.12 and the other £162.98 plus vat. Just hope it the cheaper one, fingers crossed

It's not, it's the expensive one (long one)

The cheap one?? Jesus you're the first person I've met who did that one! Make sure it's not rubbing the big one while you're at it.
