Does anybody have a part number for a rack and pinion rebuild kit ?
Any reason you're looking for a kit instead of a rebuilt rack?
Yes I have had no luck with remanufactured rack and pinion. The whole time I've had the car I replaced it 4times already with remanufactured ones they sure don't last like the originalsQuote:

Mines got some kinda hitch in it but ill hang onto it as long as I can,i dont trust the rebuilds either.
I know rightQuote:

they usually leak on the driver side. I have always used Honda power steering fluidQuote:
