Which rack and Pinion to go with???
Hey all, Im looking to replace my rack and pinion as mine is starting to leak and i've checked all around locally and there is only one place that rebuilds them but my mechanic has had issues with their work on 2-3 other racks so im looking to go a whole different route. I found a few on Rockauto.com so im wondering if any body had used or has had experience with either A-1 CARDONE rack or BECK/ARNLEY rack. The A-1 Cardone is $441.79 with a $200 core (so $241 after the core) and the Beck.arnley is $678.79 with a $211 core (so $467 after the core)
The Beck/Arnley says it has a 36 month/50,000 mile warranty where as the A-1 doesnt say anything about a warranty. At this point im not too worried about the price difference I just want to make sure I dont have to replace the thing in 6 months. That being said I would also love the save the $150 if the A-1 rack isnt a garbage remaned rack. I also need to call rockauto and figure out how the core system works as im sure shipping on a rack and pinion cant be cheap so that may cut into the core pricing.
Anybody with experience with either company/rack chime in please! Or if there is another alternative company out there that I've missed let me know!
The car is 98 btw.
TIA

I checked the site above and they don't even have a rack and pinion for a 98, the link you posted was for a 92.

probably the best solution if u can find a reputible company to do it. i dont think theres much to rebuilding them as they only have seals and o-rings..either way good luck..btw i meant reboxed..beck arnley is all reboxed products..meaning someone elses stuff in their box

This was my first choose but the only local place that does them has had some issues on prior racks that had to be warrantied within the first few weeks and I really don't want to have to deal with that if I can avoid it by buying another rack from a reputable company, hense the original post.
Python, gotcha so it's basically a mor pricy remand rack that they put their own label on...anybody have any experience/ thoughts on the A-1 cardone rack??

I put one in my old 91 LS400 from this company:
http://www.carsteering.com/steeringm...ring_Rack.html
They send you a return label for your core. They shipped fast and the part was high quality from what I could tell. I researched them at the time and they had good reviews... Just thought I would give you another option.
