Mark, if you pay these prices, you'll be getting the WHOLE shaft, not the
half shaft!

Try Jorgen Automotive at 1-800-666-0300 in Ann Arbor, MI. How does $79
exchange sound? Roger up there in MI seems to know his stuff - I got a
rebuilt rack from them for $140 exchange, and it has a LIFETIME guarantee
PLUS three hours third party labor warranty for the first year.

You have to convince then that you are in some kind of automotive-related
business (I said import-export) before they'll sell to you, but it doesn't
seem too tough to do.

Not a stockholder (prolly ought to be), just a very satisfied customer -
and I'm VERY picky and sometimes real hard to satisfy.

Best Regards,

Mike Arman (with rack that steers and DOES NOT leak!)
