I recently replaced my wifes steering rack(ZF) with a used but 'dry' rack.I reused the banjo bolt washers(gaskets),and I have fluid seeping from the PS hose to rack conection(I think I overtightened the bolts and crushed the washers).
I went to NAPA and got 4 copper banjo bolt gaskets and was wondering if the are a one-size-fits-all deal.

    Dido with Art, banjos art different sizes. Make sure you do not have any dirt or grit on thr washer or banjo as this will cause fluid leak. Banjo washers are hard to crush in this application, but ultimately possible.

    Philvo,
    One size fits all? I thought the two banjo bolts were different size - like one takes a 19mm and the other a 22mm wrench.

    I've never bought new washers, just dressed the old ones flat again with first, 220 grit, then 600 grit lubed with kerosene (not natty boh).

    Some folks may recommend annealing them.
