[Shotimes] steering rack

I have the same problem with my '95 from Texas.  I added a jug of Lucas P/S
additive to help with the seals, but will have Performance Plus do a full
flush in a couple of weeks when he looks at my trans.

I would try the cheapest thing, which is a fluid flush.  If that helps only
a little, try the Lucas stuff, again that is cheap compared to a rack and
maybe a pump replacement.

I'd be doing the fluid change myself, but with my work load (read lost money
if I take a break to work on the SHO) and the climate (read frost-bite - now
20 F in my unheated garage), I am letting Doug M deal with some of the SHO's
problems.
