   anything is re-buildable aslong as you can get parts and equipment... i have no idea what would be involved in a steering rack though... if its comming out anyway, have a look and see what you can / cant get ...

   seals etc are fine no leaks, never stripped a vtr rack yet but i imagine like most it is going to have some bushing in there. i was just wondering if anyone knew where to get them at?
   
   as knowing citroen it wont be a standard size bush!
   
   edit: fixed one of my many typo's.. cant type for s***

   As far as i've seen they're not really serviceable.
