For the steering rack, go to rockauto.com for rebuilt, or car-part.com for used.

As far as the radio goes: it could be a number of things... does it produce no sound in every different mode? CD, tape, and radio mode?

Yeah seen some on ebay tho just don't know how they are. the radio has power at all times no matter what setting but produces no sound what so ever. as for the amp i havnt checked but my is in the roof of my truck. The raido was working just fine till some cable came loose to the alternatorvand i fixed that. after that no sound.
