These are the fittings that cam with the power steering rack. They have a white plastic washer I believe. Is that what seals it ? Or do I need a different fitting?192366

Those work, but just snug them and don't bear down when tightening. Get too aggressive and you'll cut or displace the "O" ring.

Those are the seals. Hopefully there are instructions giving the torque settings? They go in with surprisingly low amount of torque. Too much and they crush and leak. Ask me how I know that.

Edit: Jeff beat me again. Surprise. :rolleyes:

Thanks guys , I never saw o-rings like that seems actual o-rings would be more reliable because these look rectangular. But, I learned don't argue with what works. I am getting really close to first start.
