I just replaced my rack, axles, ball joints, tie rods and all four shocks on my 2000 LC.
What a difference.

Glad it's working for you! It's been almost a year now on the Reman DA Rack and going strong!
One other word of advice - change the coils and plugs. Or, carry a spare coil and plug at all times (and the tools to change them).
Enjoy your new toy! I still love mine- now that I can parallel park, that is.
I have this problem
Good news: you guys/gals look to have done an excellent job of Id'ing the issue with corrective action.
Bad news: I was afraid of this, now I have to creep down this road

Are your symptoms identical? Do tell.

seems to be identical. I will have to study up on this, but it's been bugging me since purchased w 124k miles. there was some dealer history on the rig, but no mention of rack.
It was fully checked out by a front end place, but you know how that goes (as evidenced by your chasing down the problem).
As a side, the sketchy used car sales place provided docs w/r to changing timing belt, but I don't trust them (no sticker, etc.). Fluids are super dirty (I know....), thus believe the rack might be the problem.
I move super slow (kinda like my 60), but will keep this thread appraised of my actions.

It's sure a nice feeling finally having it fixed. Nothing worse than pinpointing the problem and spending a good amount of money on your theory and then it not work. Been down that road!

Once the PS fluid turns to crap, the rack will follow soon after.

@fooldall1 , did DA give you instructions on how to send your core in for the warranty?

There's a return label in the box. I just drained as much fluid as possible and wrapped it in plastic and used the same box. Called...ups I think it was for a ground pickup. Easy breezy. If your label is missing call them and let them know because the return of the rack will activate your lifetime warranty.
