Hello all,

After finding some leakd in the rack and pinion, in my 2001 Lesabre (Custom), i decided to rebuild and install new seals. (by the way, the shop asked ~300$ for used one!).

browsing the web, i found 2 seal kits from AcDelco:

1) 36-348362 - complete seal kit w/o Magnetic Variable Assist
2) 36-348363 - complete seal kit with magnetic Vriable Assist.

any idea what is this magnetic variable? are there 2 kinds of rack and pinion on these cars?

While the rack and pinion out, is it recommended to take out the PS pump and install new seals as well? (the PS steering gets hard when the oil is hot @ idle)

from 1 to 10, how hard this job? (for someone with some mechanical skills)

Thanks,
Gilmour.
