Rack N' Pinion

I bought a Rack from my local parts store and it seems to be clocked wrong. A line will not line up right and if it was just reclocked 20 degrees or so it would fit. I am sure it is possible but it looks like it would be a pain in the **** to do it. I don't know if i would messing up any seals or what not by reclocking it.

Can/should I reclock it or try to return it?

Thanks guys,

Maybe you could post a pic so I can visualize the situation? What is it that you want to re-clock? The entire rack?

This kid is right!!

I took it back after work and told them my problem. We pulled up the picture of the rack and they could tell it was off. They ordered a new one to compare it to. I will be back there tomorrow at 11am to check it out. I am going to bring the cross member to make sure it will work.
