Default 4x4 power steering rack seals

My steering rack on my 4x4 3door is pissing fluid out of the gaitors. So I need new seals for it but who and where does them. Don't really want another rack cos I already have 2.
Cheers

£115 is a piss take, take your rack apart and go to a dedicated seal supplier, get VITON seals, vastly outlast the std ford ones, cost around 2 x the price of a std seal from a seal supplier, but last longer than twice as well, and will still be way under what ford want.
