    Any of these half decent? Im located in Canada and cannot find a way to get the Detroit axle assembly over here. Any other recommendations?

    I'll never buy another Cardone product as long as I live. And the SKP is suspiciously cheap, won't hurt as much if it's shit. Tough call.

    Tough call is right, may just chance it with SKP and report back once it’s all installed.

    Man those prices are terrible and I suspect most of those will be poor quality. Y'all really got it rough in Canada these days. Your inflation seems to be worse than ours...?

    Wish I could offer better advice. If you could get your hands on an OEM steering rack that would be my suggestion. There is also a company that will rebuild your existing rack if you can wait.

    Nothing seems cheap unfortunately, limited shipping keeps things interesting as well. Inflation seems to have mellowed out a bit though.

    Seems like OEM is always the best choice. I like the idea of rebuilding my existing rack but that may come at a later date.

    There is an episode of all girls garage where they rebuild a Tundra rack using only common or improvised tools.
