Steering Rack Source Rating

[Miles]

Anyone ever buy a steering rack from:

The Steering Store?

Victoria British?

Autozone?

The Z Barn

How would you rate the quality?

The Zbarn would be a used rack, as would Danny's Datsuns.

Autozone gets their reman Racks from either A1 Cardone or ATSCO Products, both are ISO 9001 Registered. This means they have a management system in place that helps assure product quality. That doesn't mean you won't get a bad rack from either but at least they have a documented system in place.

I don't know where VB, MSA or the Steering Store has their reman work done.

Anything used can be a gamble but most reputable salvage yards will give you a warranty of say 30 days. Enough time to get the rack installed and know whether it's still servicable.

Good luck with your decision.

I got one from Autozone, I don't remember the brand but it was junk. It had more slop in it than my old one and that was even after I tightened up the inner tie rods that were about to fall off.

Zbarn said they had 280 ones that were in good shape so I may try them next
