Totally corrects rack and pinion problems. What it comes down to is short term gains, long term losses in most cases. It is 100 GUARANTEED to stop seal leaks in power steering units or your money back. If 'mechanic in a bottle' products always worked, we wouldn't need mechanics! Problems from stop leak don't always happen (probably your case) and there have been many people who swear by it, but the gamble is not worth it in my opinion. Leaks are the most common power steering problems encountered by. When it comes time to rebuild a part in that system where stop leak was used (especially the cooling system) it often turns into a lengthy project trying to remove the stop leak product from the entire system. Simply pour the power steering additive into the fluid reservoir, be sure not to overfill. Sometimes the clogged passages can lead to system failure. Stop leak type products are designed to plug up holes in a system and can inadvertently clog up fluid passages and can coat the insides of passages and pumps. Stop leak products only try to fix the symptoms of a bad seal.Ĭooling systems are negatively affected the most by stop leak products. Stop leak products do not magically fix a bad seal.

If something is leaking, a seal has failed or something is loose. The problem isn't that stop leak doesn't work, it is actually that it works too well. Cleans internal oil passages to allow proper oil flow, reduces noise levels and extends service life while reducing repair costs.

Leaks caused by hardened and brittle seals are prevented or eliminated. I just checked the fluid level and it still looking good. Keeps rubber and plastic seals in hydraulic power steering systems soft and pliable. I used Leak Stop in my 86' 10 years ago after it started leaking after I adjusted the steering slack. I'm curious as to why you would give such a warning.
