Bloody POOP in my

[gotta240]

tie rod boot.

Ok, its not ACTUALLY bloody poop, but it looks like it!!! I had a spare rack/tie rods and i just removed one of the tie rods. To my surprise instead of wheelbearing grease, there was what looked like bloody diarrea inside.

Is it safe to assume the rack has a bad seal? Is the rack trash or are they rebuildable?

thanks

The rack is rebuildable but from what I hear, not worth the time. I got a rebuilt one from steeringrack.com.
