94 voyager rack and pinion

Has anyone done a seal kit repair on a 94 voyager rack and pinion? I would think the housing would need to be honed, if so is there a special hone for this or would a brake hone work?

Any tips on doing a seal replacement would be appreciated, also if someone knows where to get a step by step procedure would also be appreciated.

thanks

We found it was cheaper in the long run just to replace the rack and pinion than to re-seal. Plus the Rack and pinion will have a warranty. Just replace with either a reman or new, you would be better off.

This type of work is FAR beyond the realm of 99% of the people posting here. If you can even find a seal kit, the tools and breakdown of the assembly are going to be near impossible to find. Try AllData or Mitchels. Otherwise, you'll need a factory service manual as there will be little info on tearing a rack apart.

The customary repair is to use a remaned rack or a new one. I know of no service station or mechanic that would even attempt what you want to do.

The original post was in 2009 making it over 2 years old. I did repace it with a remanufactored, less than 100 miles later something in the tranny broke and junked the vehicle.

I didn't realize the post was that old. Guess I need to check more closely. Sorry about that.
