I'm Ace, a Denver resident and owner of my 3rd Tacoma (love 'em). I'm a good mechanic and have done pretty much everything you can do on a car or truck, and currently restoring a '71 Datsun 240z (take a look at Ace240z.com or CBCafeRacer.com).
The rack & pinion on my '97 (2WD) is leaking fluid and occasionally groans during turns. I'm looking for a "budget priced" rebuilt replacement, but I need some advice on the manufacturer. I'm pretty certain the cheapest ones ($200 range on eBay) are crap, so what company or seller should I look for?
Additionally, what else should I replace, or at least inspect, while I have the system apart? I plan on owning this one for quite a few years, so it's best to adjust or replace before it breaks down miles from home.
Thanks!
