    Where to get reman steering rack?

    Looking for suggestions on a good source for a remanufactured steering rack.
    Thanks.

      I'm not too sure rack doctor is what it used to be or even around at all anymore.

      That was the popular one. Haven't heard of another source in a while..

      I've been using a local guy here in California, so maybe that's something to look into- local rebuilders.

          Thanks.

          Unfortunately I haven't been able to find a local rebuilder in the Massachusetts area, and I haven't found any reputable sellers of a reman ix rack.


          I've read good feedback for Advantage Steering in CA, so right now I'm leaning toward having them rebuild a rack and having it shipped back East.

              rack doctor disappeared after a massive flurry of scamming clients. he ended things super ugly.

                      Racks are about 195-275 depending on the car, steering boxes are about the same and axles are around 120 usually.

                          Google sais the 325ix rack is different, but surely the internals are the same similar/same as normal one. (obviusly check this before ordering things..)
