Default Please Help!Steering Rack

02 GS430 with 112K miles and i've replaced just about all suspension parts. Dealearship say's steering rack is bad and most likely may be the cause of my alignment not staying and tires wearing. Theres a noise coming from the rack and they can see movement in the rack. Anyone know the best place to get a Lexus steering rack or remanufactured one? Part number as well please? Anyone replace the rack before and what results have you had?

Thanks!!

Make sure your inner tie rods are still functional

Do you feel the sensation of your car moving all across the road even when going straight?

If your steering rack needs to be replaced you'll experiencing sloppyness when turning, etc.
