Default Steering Rack Rebuilding Service??

Hi All,

I'm looking for a shop in the U.S. that can professionally rebuild an existing rack and pinion. I'm having a hard time finding a place that specializes in this type stuff. A place that uses top quality parts/pieces and such. Any ideas?

I want my OEM rack rebuilt because it's the low ratio, the one at 2.14 turns lock to lock. The remans from AC/Delco and others are just the standard replacement racks for V8 cars. It's not possible to buy a reman off the shelf if your WS6 has this very low ratio rack.

Contact TurnOne. They can rebuild it and, I believe, alter your ratio.

Well TurnOne must be the place. I will call them today. I found them a few days ago but since I could not find any similar shops on the net, I just had to ask. I thought Google was broken or something. Appears there's not much need for shops like this because of the mass market reman companies.

Thanks All.
