Default where to buy steering rack and pinion?

i just picked up a new steering rack at oreillys. i get home and open the box, and it is deffinitely the wrong one. paying 300 dollars for a steering rack is pissing me off so where do you guys get a new one for a cheaper price?

after doing some research, i think they gave me the right one, but their web site is wrong. it says it will fit my car, as you can see http://www.oreillyauto.com/site/c/de...2873&ppt=C0031 in the pictures, the mounting bolt holes are on the wrong side. it is not the correct rack that i need.

can anyone point me in the right direction to getting the cheapest one possible?

thanks

Look at your RPO codes. F41 requires one rack (cheaper of the two) and FE2, FE4 and FE7 IIRC use the other one. I just replaced mine two weeks ago and my 98 had the FE4 option... BTW I got an A1 Cardone reman and after I turned the core back in it was $241 including tax....
