Default anyone have a rack n pinion for sale?

Seems like its one thing after the other with the camaro lately.
My power steering pump was making noise the other day so i
toppped it off and by the next day it was all gone and in garage floor.
The hoses look fine but the driver's side boot and where the hose ends
go is coverd in ps fluid.

Anyone have extra they want to get rid of, or know where I could
get a cheap rebuild since Im low on $$$?

I would double check that it is not a line. Usually the high pressure line is what leaks out all the fluid when it goes bad.

I've had rack problems with my camaro since I bought it. Recently I gave in and rebuilt the entire thing, including the top seal that usually leaks. Find out where it's leaking from and go from there, you might be able to just throw a seal at it and save.....

I spun the wheel so I had an angle at it. If you take it apart be sure to index the pinion, my first go around I didn't and drove the damn thing with the steering wheel 90 degrees off for 6 months before I fixed it.

I keep reading about people cutting the bolt head off or
lifting the engine. Gonna try again after work.

I think you can pull the motor mount pin on the drivers side and jack up the motor to get the clearance you need to pull the bolt out.
