So are you saying to buy from the local auto parts stores versus the chains
? I see there's a site on the web, 'CarSteeringwholsesale.com' that charges
about $40.00 more but says it's racks are better than the production line
racks put out by the remanufactures. Anyone have any experience with these
people ?

thanks
