Default 92 Lexus Power Steering Rack

So from everyone's input it sounds like I need a new rack. Is there more than one to choose from on this model? Where would I be able to find a used one in good condition?

^ Carpart will have listings from auto salvage yards across the country, if you do go that route, call up and order and make sure to ask about condition or evidence of leaks. That will give you better odds of getting a decent one.

In my experience, 4/5 of the ones I see in the junkyard show evidence of leakage and I see a lot of them. Mine is leaking as well, I found a seller on ebay that rebuilds them in Detroit, once you return your core to them it looks like less than $200 out of pocket. That's not bad.

Mine just has a minor leak so I threw some Lucas power steering stop leak, good recommendations from forum friends and a complete money back guarantee so why not, worth a shot.
