Default Cant find production code for new rack/pinion?Help please?

hi,i was advised by my mechanic that my rack and pinion is shot and is the reason my car goes where it likes too.I was told that look for a a f41 production code in my glove box but i bought the car used and there are no stickers in there.Basically i need to know if my 98 SS has firm ride or not so i can fix this thing tommorow.Oh yeah i need to get realigned too.

Might try looking on the drivers door for the RPO codes, FWIW it sounds like he's thinking of a 3rd gen
AFAIK 4th gens did not come with F41 as a suspension option (the 3rd gens did)

Hey,guys come to find out it has firm ride as i put the first power stearingrack in it wasnt firm ride,then i noticed the shaft angle was off.It was about 23deg. wgere the firm ride is a 45 deg. So dont be dumb like me and just throw it in check the racks next to each other first.LOL
