I'm reviving this old thread hoping for some guidance. I have a 1992 LS-L (which to my understanding has the speed-controlled rack & pinion). I've been trying to find the right part online and in my searching I've found refurbished units that reference not having a sensor or being sensor ready (with or without solenoid). Which do I need for the '92 LS-L?

For example:

https://www.detroitaxle.com/shop/ste...x-with-sensor/

https://www.detroitaxle.com/shop/ste...svx-no-sensor/

Or there are these that apparently fit all models (but I'm wary of that):

Re: "Rack and Pinion" question

Stay away from the "fits all". You want with sensor/solenoid or sensor ready. #809 is correct but out of stock. I would call them to check on fitment and availability.
There are places that do rebuilds if it's not your DD.

Ok, that's what I thought. Thanks very much for the confirmation. I ended up purchasing this unit that included the sensor on eBay: www.ebay.com/itm/224546019974

Now I just need to find a competent and willing mechanic. The SVX seems to strike fear in many...

They fear what they do not know or understand.

Good deal on the rack. They even supply a return shipping label for the $50 core fee. They must really want the old racks to rebuild.
