In these cases, I recommend getting a rebuilt rack from any store out there. If you want to take a risk and save some money, you could try to get a seal kit and re-seal the rack yourself. (Not recommended as the job required various tools).
@bestpartsonline10 what tools would you need? specialty tools made just for power steering (rack & pinion) or can any average joe with a tool cabinet full of general tools?
@NORTEVISTAFIGHTS There are specialty tools that will make the job easier but you can always improvise if you have a good set of tools. If you go to the facebook link on bestpartsonline, there is a guide with photos on installing seals on a rack. or just google it. You need to grease the seals during installation. Also you should use a plastic to cover the sharp edges on the shaft when installing a seal. Seal is useless if the lip is cut. Tedious work - Not a tire change job.

My car needs a new steering rack. When I turn, it makes a sort of low pitched squeaking/grinding when I drive. Even as the RPM goes up, so does the noise, is this just because of the steering rack, or more?
Holy Shht, how does that happen??
