Default 1998 C5 design 1 steering rack

Help. Does anyone know if a design 2 steering rack will interchange with the design 2, harness routed above gear, steering rack.

Mine was damaged in a collision and the GM dealer said he can't find an early 1998 type 1 design.

Dealer wants $1,500 to rebuild rack!

Check with Marc @ Vettenuts.com. He's a member here that has a vette salvage. He might be able to help...

I have the rack and pinion from my 99 coming out this week...no issues...I can get it out, cleaned up and on the way....just be forewarned many parts folks want a core charge upfront to be refunded if yours is rebuildable you also have to ship yours back....I don't

KenneyB,

If you still have your rack available, we can rebuild it starting at $300.00 (plus s&h). There is roughly a two week turn around right now on rack rebuilds.

Please let us know if we can help! Give us a call at 1.877.GO.TURN1 to talk to our tech support!

Thank you,
Bry

Kenny, If your C5 isn't a DD then by all means I would send out the original and have it rebuilt.
