964 steering rack rebuild

[porsche gt3]

Hi,

I need to get my 964 late model steering rack rebuilt. I live in the northeast. Can someone recommend where I can get it done. The prices I see out there are very expensive, around 1400-1600 and I am hoping to get it done cheaper.
Please let me know.

Thanks

I read a number of online reviews and found a number of people that were happy with 993 rack rebuilds done by Phoenix Rack & Axle.

Some were saying if you take your rack to any Carquest in the country, Carquest sends it to PR&A for the rebuild.

So I took my 993 rack over to PR&A and it was done the next day for less than $200. They had the seals already on the shelf.

Works great, no leaks a year later. Only thing I didn't like was they painted it. You can request no paint.

Using Pentosin CHF11s fluid now.

I bought a re conditioned rack from Vertex It sells for $499.00, after you return yours.

Thanks for the help. I am going to call on Monday. Much better than $1600-

I did mine myself and it worked out perfectly. I suspect any good mechanic could order a kit from KLA Industries.net and do it themselves. BTW, my 964 had a 993 rack in it. The 993 rack bolts up and is more affordable than the more rare 964 rack.

I thought 993 racks were more expensive. Same power steering pump, etc?
