Hi Guys,

I posted this in the Tech forums but wanted to repost it here to find out who can help with a Rack and Pinion replacement. I live in OC. I know there is R&S in Montebello and Corner 3 Garage in Lake Forest but is there anyone else who can do it for less? I didn't get a quote yet. Any help is appreciated! Here's the post:

Hi Guys,

Looks like I have a bent Steering Rack and Pinion. Everything was fine until I had my car towed on a flatbed and I whole hearty believe they did it since the car had it after they towed it. Too late to do much about it now.

Any ways, I need to replace the assembly and just wanted to make sure I'm ordering the correct parts.

I see the Rack and Pinion assembly on Ebay here:

Is this the correct one to order? I heard I should also replace the Tie Rods? I see some aftermarket ones like this:

Also, I see the TEIN here:

Does it make a difference if I get the former (and cheaper) one above? Do I need anything else?

Thanks for your guys help!

 

Personally I would take it to Corner 3..worth the extra for the peace of mind. Give them a visit and they will tell you everything you need to replace and give you a quote.
(PS-I think it's R&D not R&S)

 

Thanks. I made the decicsion to go to Corner 3 already and will drop off my car this Sat. I'll keep everyone posted

 

Awesome man, Steve and Nima will take good care of your car
