91' 240 Steering rack replacement

Klaptrap24

Hi guys,

As some of you may have seen, I have a pretty significant power steering leak from my steering rack in my 91 240 wagon. Assuming that i need to have the whole rack replaced, could anyone show me where I could get either good refurbished racks or new ones? Or any alternatives that are cost and life effective. Thanks.

Remanufactured is US$300 on FCP:

You might find a reman for less locally, but I doubt it. You could grab a rack from a wrecker, but they'll charge you a bit, it's a pita to remove and might not be that good in the end.

Do you definitely need the whole rack? The other option is to repair/recon the one you have (although I know most people tend to replace the whole thing).
