I am going to try and make every meet that I can! Just need to get the SVX road worthy first

Heard back from the shop today, and I am hearing that the rack and pinion is bad on it. They pulled the boots, and fluid just came pouring out. I can't call BS on the shop either... The owner has known my family for over 35 years lol. If the rack really is bad, I'm just going to order a long rack assy and replace it myself. I can do a rack and pinion as long as the inner tie rods come on it. I can smell the irony now!!! Also, I will get pics when I get down there next weekend. In the meantime, anyone know a good site for some deals on a rack and pinion (long rack) setup?

Get the steering rack rebuilt, much cheaper and as good as new.
