Default I need a steering rack

I am just wondering if anyone near southern CA happens to have a steering rack they would be willing to sale me. My rack on my 1997 TA is leaking from the top pinion seal; I am going to just replace the seal if i can't get my hands on a good used rack. Let me know.

I would recommend getting a good LS1 rack. You will need the steering knukle as well. That will eliminate the rag-joint.

I have a ls1 steering knukle that was indexed to my lt1 rack; but I guess I can just pull the knuckle apart and adjust it. This sucks I bought the car as a roller then removed my motor and trans out of my car and sold it as a roller leaving the rack in my old car; I wish I kept my old rack now.

You can easily get a new knuckle with the new LS1 rack.
