Well after 4 years of trouble free driving the Apache PS rack and pinion finally popped all the seals.  I knew I was running more pressure than I should but it worked for 4 years  ::).    Ordered a new rack rather than rebuild.  And guess I have to reduce the pump pressure back down.

PS pump set to 1000 PSI.

4 years of driving on these tires and they still look good for a tape measure alignment on air bagged suspension.

 New rack and pinion is almost 1 inch too short tie rod to tie rod.  Even though the specs are listed the same. I had to find longer tie rod ends.  They also changed the lock to lock to 2.5 from 3 and upped the rated pressure to 1200 psi. Mabye it's a supplier vs supplier thing.   >:(
