Hi all-
My 2005 118" with 60K miles has a slow power steering leak coming from the boot that covers the right tie rod. It's been going for at least a few months now and during that time I've been topping up the fluid as needed. Recently I've noticed the leak seems to have gotten bigger and sometimes during slow speed turns (in a parking lot, for example) there's a little bit of shuddering in the steering.
Have many others experienced this? The archives seem thin on this problem.
I've read that the entire rack has to be replaced. Really?
Has anyone had luck with stop-leak power steering fluid? Or should I just bite the bullet and call the mechanic?
