Re: comments on steering rack replacement?

[Mark Mages <wasserbox@yahoo.com>]

Power or manual?

This is a good time to also replace your steering rack
bushings($2ea), tie rods & ends, and rear tranny
mount($30).

For a manual rack, you can get a new (non OEM) rack
for $75.  Tie rods are like $30 ea.  Also a good time
to replace tie rod and lower steering gear
boots($15-20$).

If you can get it all at once, expect to spend a day
doing it.  Then expect to get an alignment soon
afterwards.

Just because you have an opinion, doesn't mean that anyone wants to hear it
