hmm, well didn't know that, makes sense though, I never took one apart figured it was just a standard hydraulic.

The rebuilt racks are susceptible to two main factors. Age and the quality of the core and reman parts.
If a reman rack is coming out of a warehouse in AZ or say, MN, it’s going to be subject to 100*+ or -40* temps. If it’s something that’s been sitting around for a few years and the last one, the seals will have rotted out.
If it was just rebuilt with good or average parts and core, substandard seals will also turn it into a boat anchor in a matter of minutes or months.
If possible pressurize any reman rack before it’s installed.

Looks like this:
FEBEST - CDAB-CK1-KIT - steering rack bushing kit
CDAB-CK1-KIT - steering rack bushing kit
But I can't find it for sale anywhere. All I see is Dorman type parts, are these any good?

I wouldn't spend more than $100 and just grab one from a junkyard and slap it in, then get it aligned.
ya'll rich, i'm poor
+1, or a reman.
To the OP: The Febest bushings need to be pressed in anyway. They come preinstalled on a reman.
It said the same for my 2007. I have a set of them here that I’d be more than happy to send you to see if they’ll work for you. I will always just replace the steering rack when the time comes.
that would be appreciated. Is it possible to install them with the rack and pinion not removed? Does it need some special equipment?
Or do you think it makes more sense to get the entire rack to make things simpler? Plus the gears inside must wear out?

The rack and pinion has to come out in order to install these bushings on the bench. I looked into doing it on my rack, but it looked like more hassle than it was worth, which is why I bought the reman.
If you want to send me your mailing address via DM, I can ship them out if you’re willing to pay the cost of shipping. No cost for the parts. Happy to give it to someone who can use them.
