Hey all,
so i have a 2000 camaro z28 and just recently i noticed my rack and pinion started leaking horribly from the right side boot(inner tie rod end) im guessing the seal just completely tore appart. I was wondering if its worth buying a rebuilt rack and pinion from autozone or any other local car part store. The reason i ask is because i heard that they just have the rack sitting without lubricating the seals and with time the seals can get gritty and begin to leak i also wanted to know if the rack and pinion has to be from another camaro ls1 or if it can come from a v6 camaro. I havent looked much into this stuff its the first LS i own and im not too acknowledged with this type of stuff but i do know my basic stuff, just wanted to get some tips on what i should do.
Thanks guys!

Those are rebuilt right? And how did it work for you? Any leaks? Also was it hard to replace im thinking of doing it at home

Years ago I purchased a re-manufactured unit from my local auto parts store and didn't have any issues. Honestly most new or reman units come from the same couple of companies and are simply re-branded like most other non-OEM replacement parts.

I actually just replaced mine about 2 weeks ago. I bought mine from Detroit Axle. Lifetime warranty and was less than $200. So far so good, everything was nicely protected when I received the box, and the installation went smoothly.
