Title: Early model steering rack.
Post by: jeremysdad on January 09, 2013, 04:08:21 PM

You can still get a 'reman' rack and pinion from Autozone for $135.99 plus tax, with free 2-day shipping (with a free trial of Shoprunner), and it looks like this (if it'll post)(Oh, it won't cause it's 3.3 MB, but rest assured, it's very shiny) :). The sticker on it says 'Manuf in Taiwan', and there's no core charge, which usually indicates a new part, at least in my experience.

Just an fyi, Ladies and Gentlemen. :)

Okay, I think I figured it out, thanks to the 'Having trouble posting pics' topic here. :) As mentioned, this doesn't look 'painted black', per the AZ website description. At least not to me. ;) Better than paying 200 for one from Jegs. :)

Figures. :) Like 3 days after I ordered mine, AZ sent me a 20% off coupon to my email. Oh, well, I just can't wait for the rain to break so I can get it in and have a drive-able car again. :)

Good find, looks like exactly what I got.
