Steering rack rebuild\replace?????

The steering on my 88 GT is a little loose, not big time just not what I would like to be. The tie rods have a little play so they will get replaced, the rack mount bushings are shot, they will be replaced. The question is, where do you find a rebuilt or replacement steering rack? And is it worth the effort? Like I said the steering is a little loose but not sloppy.

www.rodneydickman.com sells replacement rack bushings.

he means the mounting bushings - not the rack bushing

I am replacing the rack on a Escort, and using poly bushings for the mounts. I havent seen them available for Fieros.

but, as I mentioned in another thread - maybe this guy should just buy a block of poly, and carve out what he wants.

rack, spring perch & something else - cant remember what else he wanted to poly

I do have access to a mill, so maybe if he wants to do this - I wouldnt mind making a set of rack mount bushings. I will be doing my rack (again) soon. my autozone rebuilt rack sucked.....

I would like a set of urethane mount bushings for the steering rack. The right one is beyond using and the left one is not much better. when would you be able to get them to me and how much do you want for the two bushings shipped to 85023?

Thanks
