I'm in the market for a new steering rack (non-PS) as mine clunks badly (I verified the mounts are good and tight and can feel the rack internally clunk when I push on the tie rods). I notice Rock Auto lists a rebuild price for about 1/2 of the cost of a new unit from Honda. Has anybody gone this route before? I'm okay with the downtime of sending them my core to rebuild, but am unsure of the quality and also the condition of my current rack for rebuild as the play is quite bad.
Or would I be better off just looking for a used unit?
