Motor is out, not sure if it's the original or not. Car has 283k on it. Should I replace the unit while the motor is out or are they not that bad when the motor is in? Opinions? How long do these usually last? 03 300A

Willing to meet up half way
If you can grab the inner tie rods and they rattle, then the bushings are worn out, then it is time to swap it out.
Not a bad job even with the motor in the car, 2-3 hours tops.

When you are dead, you don’t know you are dead. It is difficult only for others. It is the same way when you are stupid.

Isn't this a rebuild situation? I don't think the speed-sensitive racks are available new anymore.Originally Posted by Spectragod

They last forever.
Super easy job with the engine in the car.
No reason to replace it now.

I've been searching for a variable speed rack for a year. You are correct that new ones are not available.

Hmm.. Does say hydraulic assist.. But does that mean it's POWER STEERING.. Or Variable? I'd have to see the VAPS unit on the rack to believe it.
