Steering rack failure at 43k miles

Pretty sure they're all the same as all the parts are listed across all 2nd and 3rd gen years.

But I know the rack is mounted slightly different from 2nd gen
Basing this on word from someone who has worked on both.

Can't say if completely different model rack just different mounting and/or space around

Mine too . Exactly 22,000 miles. My power steering fluid kept disappearing but no leak. Finally my rack blew up on the hwy and my steering got stiff. Then about 5 quarts of power steering fluid I kept adding shot out of the inner tie rod boot. Yup, no leaks cause it leaked all into the inner tie rod boot . I Let my dealer know and they replaced it under warranty as 1 time courtesy due to being on long travel and on 35's with a lift. This new one should last long enough for the mar rack when its released end of the year. I have all my pennies saved.

 

Well since this thread has been bumped I emptied the reservoir fully and filled with the Lucas power steering stop leak. So far hasn't gone down for now.

Thinking it will be more of a band aid until @81Trekker can confirm that rack add on fits 3rd Gen. Then that will be the go to
