    Steering Rack Replacement Choices?

    What are my options for a new rack in my 89 CSX? Rock Auto is now out of the "new" ones they were selling. Any ideas? I see some remanufactured ones on there. Are any of them decent?

    I know this is not an answe you want to hear.

    but whats wrong with yours?
    if it is an original csx rack it may have a better ratio than something you get from a box store.
    leaking? - seal kit?

    Brian I had no luck trying to find anyone locally, so I sent mine out to Jorgen Automotive in Ann Arbor, MI. They did a nice job with rebuilding my fast ratio l-body rack, and couldn't have made it any easier. Several others in the TM world recommended these guys to me. They actually sent me an empty box to ship it in, I shipped it from MPLS, MN to them, then they shipped it back to me for around $40 total shipping. That was cheaper shipping three ways than it would have been for me to ship it one way! Woman said something about they get like 73% off street pricing or something like that. Passed their shipping discount on to customer, which was noticed and appreciated.

    Thanks for the suggestions guys. I was going to do the rack in one shot because I think the inner tie rod ends are in rough shape on both sides. I'll give it a go with just replacing those and if I still have some troubles, I'll send it off for replacement. It seems like that place in Ann Arbor is the hot ticket. Thanks again.
