Power Steering Rack? Where 2 find & how much? Where can i find a replacement steering rack for a 99 WS-6 and how much should i expect to pay?
I would assume just AutoZone or O'Reilly's, but is there any other place that might have it cheaper?

I would try and buy a used one off of here.
I say that because I tried to go through local parts stores and it was a nightmare. I never ended up getting the right rack (something about the way the **** for the steering shaft was angled, they could not get it right). I took it back three times and finally said screw it. The dealership is expensive so I skipped that (want to say it was like $500??) So I just found someone on here with an LS1 and got it from them, so I knew it would fit. I think I paid around $60.
By the way, when you reinstall it, install the bolt from the bottom and put the nut on top. That way if it ever needs to come apart again, you don't need to bother with undoing the motor mount and jacking up the engine to get the bolt out. What a pain in the butt.
