rack and pinion rebuild?

Or just buy one remanufactured for about 250 bucks.

What is involved in rebuilding it?

Depends on your mechanical skill level... it's not complicated, but time consuming. Just follow the Haynes manual / FSM & you should be able to handle it.

personally, i'de just replace it with a re manufactured unit... two things i never skimp on is steering and brakes... just dosnt' pay to risk it when it the cost is usaly so close between doing it your self and getting a new/reman part out of a box.. how much is your time worth to you?

took your advise

Yeah, I took your advise and talked the parts guy down to 187 bucks!

I have the fsm and I don't really want to fool with it! Takes away from my time.
