So, my rack is toast. It's leaking like mad out the passenger side. It was making noise anyway... So, has anyone else had to replace theirs? Mostly, I plan to follow the DIY instructions and repalce it myself, just wondering if anyone has a recommendation of a place to get the rack. Good and bad experiences are welcome.

Places I have found so far are:

Also, I already bought a complete suspension rebuild kit (all control arms and rod ends, etc) so I'm going to do that while I am in there. The passenger side front axle also has a cut in the CV boot, so, the axles are getting replaced. Since it has almost 100K miles, I'm going to go ahead and replace the shocks while I am in there as well. I am going to check the brakes and *might* replace them with S8 brakes while I am in there. Should I also go ahead and replace the bearings while I have everything apart? Does anyone have suggestions for places to get those parts and or specific brands of shocks to get or stay away from?

So list is:
1. steering rack
2. suspension (all control arms, etc)
3. shocks
4. brakes
5. bearings

I plan to keep the car for a while and just want to get it in good-as-new condition with the suspension, brakes, and driveline outside the engine and transmission.

 

*bump* Just hoping someone has replaced a rack on here and has a suggestion of where to get one...

Thanks...
