Good rack for 05 DC

I'm looking to purchase a new rack and pinion for my 05' DC 4x4. Just looking for suggestions for a high quality rack. I live in Milwaukee Area.

My mechanic has put in back to back POS remanufactured racks and I'm just gonna do it myself and get it done right.

Thanks in advance!

 

Pretty sure he’s talking steering rack.

 

Most of them are garbage, especially store brand parts, but then again almost all store brand parts are garbage these days, only intended to last 2-4 years if you manage to get something that isn’t already DOA, which happens far too much!!

It’s why a lot of us drop the $$$ to buy OEM, it lasted how many years now? The genuine OEM replacement will do the same, if you buy from a reputable source (counterfeits are rampant on scAmazon and fleaBay these days) . Buy once, cry once, at least you’ll won’t be replacing it every 2-5 years, I reckon if you add up the racks you’ve bought so far it’d be roughly the cost of one OEM rack….

We track aftermarket wins/fails on this forum. So far, the only rack I recall a couple of people had success with is Detroit Axle.

 

+1. I'm happy with my Detroit Axle rack.

 

So far, this is the only aftermarket option, but take that with a grain of salt since I can only recall 2 members stating it has held up.

 

I did the Detroit axle new rack for $200 with a 10 year warranty. So far, extremely pleased. Steering is tight again.

I know some went with the rebuilt one that has a lifetime warranty when you return your core

I opted for the new one to be sure it had new gears inside and not just new seals

 

+3 on the Detroit axle. I have one as well. We put it in 4/22 and it's survived 2 heavyish offroading adventures.
