Help needed for Griff bits. Can you help?
Discussion
Hi, I have a few questions with regards to Griff bits. I am new to this forum, so stay with me. I have a 1993 500. Really nice and pretty original. Loving it as it has been fun and very reliable. I need some bite to do on it though.
1) The steering rack (power) has been leaking through the off side seal and has lost oil as well as distorted the rubber boot. Does anyone know who makes these rackes and if I could get replacement seals?
2) the power steering pump, which looks very much like a range rover one is also dripping from the spidle seal. I have checked this several times as I thought it might be the low pressure pipes. But it is the seal. Again, can anyone let me know where to purchase one of these.
3) Yet another seal, the diff to propshaft has also started dripping recently. It is the GKN with finns on the bottom. Any ideas?
Any help would be much appreciated.

cant comment on PS problems, mine is nonPS car.
The diff seal is a problem due to having to remove the drive flange and disturbing the pre-load on the colapsible collar inside the diff.Just keep topping it up,its a hell of a lot cheaper than a diff refurb.
I have a spare diff in the garage though if you need a seal number or sizes.
I hate being the bearer of bed news.
