Steering rack replace, help
Have clicking notchy feeling in steering. Dealer says steering rack needs replace and no new units available. Have to use rebuilt.
Anyone had this done? 427CE with 6k miles. Not to crazy about rebuilt going in my 80k vette.

Thats the facts unfortunately. If it was my car, I would only use a remanufactured one from Turn One. They are the best out there. The one the dealer will get is from a local parts house and who knows who did the rebuild -----

Yes you did reply and Im surprised that only a reman rack is available. So I go with it. Has your GS been okay since the replacement? the one question that cannot be answered is has the problem with the magnet been addressed so I wont happen again.
Atleast I will get a free alignment since the front cradle has to be dropped some.

I had mine replaced at 34K miles because of an oil leak. Same story, you get a remanufactured unit. When mine was replaced it cured a vibration that I had been chasing for almost three years. It's been 8K miles since and all is well.

This is getting old. My 09z51 and 11 GS never had this issue. my crappy Equinox doesn't have the problem. and you cant get a new rack only reman. We will see what the tech says. It was so good after it was first fixed. Tighter and no problem.
