For some reason GM never really had stock of C6 steering racks for Grand Sports or other late model C6's. My 2013 came brand new from the factory with a bad rack. When I bought it in the dealer told me I would be getting a rebuilt rack as GM has no new racks other than the ones they use to build the cars. It has been discussed here on the forum in the past.

From what I understand, the dealer shouldn't have a problem getting a rack, because new ones from the factory/ supplier aren't made anymore. Every steering component, power steering pump, etc. is rebuilt. I had my power steering pump replaced about 7 month ago at a Chevy dealer, and it was remanufactured.

You can check with AES Corvettes about getting a used one. Other than that you'll have to get a rebuilt one as mentioned above.

Hey
There is a local shop that deals Axles and Rack & Pinions.
The shop is called Speedy Axles Rack & Pinion. Google them. 96 Hempstead Turnpike, West Hempstead N.Y. 11552 516 483-5002. Speak to Rav.

Stay far away from Speedy, horrible quality. If you want to go get a rack on the island the place to go would be Biltron.
