Has anyone replaced the steering rack themselves? How much of a bear is it?
I'm losing a quart a week in power steering fluid driving 60mi a day round trip. Pretty much leaving a popcorn trail whenever I back out of a spot for 100'.

I can't find it again, but somewhere/someone said the lower steering coupler should be replaced as well. Only thing I noticed was FCP made mention of a circular recess on newer versions.
