Actually becareful. The LS1 F-Body's have about 3 different steering racks ... The only way to truly tell which one you have is to remove the old one and compare it to a physical one.

Dis one ACDELCO 36R0391
http://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo....sn=594&jsn=594

Mine was leaking, it won't help if you have bad ball joints, tie road ends, or anything connected to the rack or front wheels that is wore out.
