Thanks for the information. I've checked into the inner tie rod ends being worn out instead of replacing the entire rack. Should be much cheaper and less work overall. Glenn

Thanks for checking the prices for me.
I've learned a long time ago not to cut corners on this project. ALWAYS get the best parts you can afford, so I'll probably go with the Moog. No way I'd go for the foreign junk!!

I got my 89 sport rack from a Place in Tampa. Great price, I got it quick and it came highly recomended from a fellow C4 owner. I'll see if I can track down the name of the place for you. It probably doesn't do much, but I got the poly bushings too when I got my rack. I'd ask that the rubber bushing not be installed if you go with the poly bushings though. I had to pay a machine shop $20 to remove the new rubber bushing so I could install the poly one.

That info would be great to help me make a decision. I'm not pressed for time, so that helps.

Thanks for all the suggestions. It's bought & installed.

Oh crap. I forgot to get that info for you. Sorry about that. Where did you end up getting the rack from?
