steering rack 4ksq

[Andrew Sitzer]

I usually hate 'Me Too' messages.. but I just had to 'Me Too' Huw's
comments :)  Jorgen racks are great.  I got my rack in like 2 days, they
pay for return shipping on the core, they have a great warranty (they even
pay labor if it breaks!).
  Btw, if you 'have your own shop' you get it for $145 and they dont
verify (though dont abuse this.)
  I ended up calling around and installation prices varied widely.. I
ended up finding a local place that charged $150 for the labor.
  Ps. Dont forget to order extra pentosin fluid (No, Jorgen doesnt sell
that..  though they should :>
