Since I've owned the car, the steering rack had been leaking ps fluid from the driver's side boot, but just a little. Over the weekend I noticed a puddle of ps fluid on the ground from that side, so I guess I can't wait any longer. Anyway, I found this place online, which seems to be the cheapest I could find. Is this a good deal? I'll be calling Napa and Carquest tomorrow, but I'm pretty sure it's going to cost more at those places. Thanks.

The last one I changed was on an 01 1.8t and was 270+100 core from Autozone

 

Rolling Rock is quite cheap at one of the package stores near me.

 

Really? I think all Autozone parts have a lifetime warranty too. Can Autozone quality be trusted though? Even though it might have a warranty, I would still have to pay to have another one installed if it leaks or something. I don't think I have enough experience to do something like that myself.

 

I just called Autozone and they said 360 + 205 core. That's a little too much for a Duralast part imo.

 

One thing I forgot to ask is if there is any way to find out if I have a Koyo or ZF rack without having to take it out first? Why are there two versions anyway (just out of curiosity)? My intentions are to buy the rack and then take it to a shop to have them put it in while I wait since I need my car to go to work and can't have it sitting in a shop. TIA.
