New powersteering rack? Or rebuild?

Post by Shaggy »

So i checked out my tierods and my powersteering rack today because its getting close to tax time and i plqn on putting some money in my car and i grabbed my drivers side tierod and tried moving it and twisting it and it was solid, then i went to the passengers side (the side that leaks) and i could twist the whole inner tierod that goes up into the powersteering rack and the outer tierod felt pretty squishy/soft when i was twisting it. I know that its bad but im wondering if i should just get a new powersteering rack or if i could get away with rebuilding this one. Also how soft are the tierods suposed to be. I was already thinking about getting a powersteering rack from the junkyard or trying to pick one up from someone on the site. Also do i need new tierods? The drivers side seemed fine but like i said the passengers side is pretty soft. They arent smashed or anything like that but it seems the passengers side needs replaced in my opinion.
