There was a tear in the boot and the pump was leaking. We thought it was the A/C compressor, but it tested fine.

No story though, I could make one up, but it started leaking in Eureka Nevada, and we had it checked in Ely. The guys at a local oil change place thought it was the A/C compressor, so they pulled the plug on it and sent me down the road to Moab.

Poor Sewie had oil all over the front of his truck

Anyway, it was making a nasty groaning noise in the mornings when it was really cold out, 32 or below since January, but because they could not reproduce the noise, or find a leak in the system, (they put dye in it back in Jan and tested the system) they said it was fine. Well, it wasn't.

So the new racks come with new tie rods I guess. All assembled.

I noticed no symptoms other than the noise.
