my GP friends over at clubgp arent really workin too well today. need an answer as soon as possible. the GTP's down till i get this fixed.
ok, the part i need is on the rack part of my steering assembly. each side is bolted to the engine cradle. the drivers side is bolted right below the pinion, the passenger side is bolted down using what looks like a pipe clamp. it circles around the top of the rack, comes back down and is joined at the bottom by two bolt holes, which are bolted to the cradle.
this is it, in broken form, on my car. center of the picture.
in this one it's the bottom two pictures. in the second to the bottom picture it's almost a close up of the loop itself. it's pretty much the only thing looping around the top of the rack and coming together at a bolt hole at the bottom. the bottom one is just a further picture of it showing you it's orientation.
so, anyone know what it's called? if i can even get it seperate? or am i screwed into looking for a new rack and pinion. or could a junkyard have one? any answers would be great and more than i already have

it's not how fast you go, it's how you get there that counts.

The steering rack?
can you circle what you are looking for?

yea thats a piece of the steering rack....thats a whole replacement hate to tell ya
My car may run 18s, but I can do your taxes in 10 seconds flat.
JBO lube - they would never have enough in stock and we'd never see RodimusPrime again
yeah, already looked into getting a replacement... best bet so far is a 3 day ordering period. this is gonna suck. any idea where i can get one like a slut, fast cheap and easy

so far that's the case. here's a nice bit of trivia for ya. is GTP stearing variable effort or non variable effort

ours have them
and from what i know they are variable
26079912 is the variable rack, and 26049251 is the non-variable.
