    If you mean the seal kits to stop your rack leaking into the gaiters then.....no !. However mine was doing exactly this a few years ago, it was absolutely peeing out the of the rack clips. I used a couple of bottles of Lucas power steering conditioner as a temporary fix till I got around to changing the rack/scrapping the car and years later it's still leak free !
    Old Car: 855 T5 in Grey and rust (dead and gone, well, most of it !
    Missus' ride: Citroen C4 coupe 1.6 HDi,
    Modifications: Nowt.....yet !
    Daily driver: 855 R in Black,
    Currently nursing a blown head gasket, new engine on its way !
    Recent addition: Freshly imported Honda Stepwagon,
    Slowly turning into a camper van !
