Some stuff on E-bay claims to be genuine oem parts does anyone know the parts numbers for the genuine bushings or the whole control arm strut rod left and right along with rack and pinion, Oh is a rebuilt OK on the rack and pinion or is this a no no any help would be great. And thanks for the reply YODAONE.

just get a local rebuilt rack & pinion, IF you have problems you can return IF necessary it is just the seals leaking not the hard parts... I used them in Dallas for thirty years in my shop and had very few problems....
I always went with OEM bushings for SRB's
be sure to clock them properly if you are replacing the bushings,and tighten them with the wheels (loaded) on the floor (down) either arms or bush..(48674-40051)

I can't say for the rack and pinon for these LS400s but I bought a Napa remanufactured rack for my 93 Accord back in 2010 and its still functioning perfectly just like OEM.
The SRB, I would only go OEM. DO NOT go Poly, otherwise you'll feel every bump and pebble in the road, it'll be way to harsh. You can choose to either buy the bushing separate or buy the entire arm.
