Or however its spelled..

Anyhow 49,750 on the odometer and its shot!

That and my camber problem all at once :cuss

Anyhow I can get the rack for 380.00 dunno if thats a good deal
I can do the back camber myself the front Imma get a kit..

My question is should this rack be bad that quick?!?!

There was no extended warranty bough w/ the car and i dont think it covers that anyhow.

Anyone have a rack or know how to install them?

Sucks just got the DSM and its costing me 700.00 off the start :(

Wow! That made my head hurt.

Are you talking about the "Rack and pinion"? With a GS-T, I'm going to assume that you have power steering. Being a '99, I am going to doubt that this is the actual problem. Can you give us some details to help you out? What makes you think this is the problem and how did it happen?

The only person that I know of here that had to replace one was Jarod McKinley.

My machanice even showed me it was..

He had me come under the car and had someone in it to move the steering wheel (which has play) the then told me to listen for the noise..

Wasnt the wheels was right in the center.. *He let me find it to prove it*

Then he said put your fingers here.. in the center of the Rack and pinion and i could fill it clicking.. :cuss :cuss :cuss

Yeah, power steering and its a GS-T 49,750 on the odometer.

I was sooo pissed..

That ontop my camber kit is freakin killin my savings

If it is going bad, I believe Aaron (sandman) has a parts car where you might be able to buy one.

PS. Can I also suggest that you study up on the English language, because over half of your two previous posts are practically unintelligible.
