Hi, I am feeling a slight bit of play on the passenger side steering linkage at the ball joint on my 94 1LE. I don't believe it is a worn ball joint because I can see the play in the shaft coming out of the rack. Apparently, the 1LE for this particular year (maybe others) have a different rack than the Z28s. Does anyone out there know where I can get an exact replacement steering rack or where I can get mine rebuilt?

TurnOne will set you up well.

I found it's easiest to order a used junkyard pull off rack on eBay (auction with pics of car/rack) and ship it to them direct, once/if you've confirmed that you in fact have a standard z28 rack.

Beware of v6 racks, they are not the same. The one you want is 2.25 turns lock to lock, the v6 racks are typically 2.75 (there may have been v6 racks out there with the 2.25 turn racks, but not many if so). I forgot the RPO codes (FE2, F41, or something)

Also make sure you stick with the 93-97 range on racks. 98+ have the steering input shaft at a 45* angle to clear the LS1 alternator; LT1 racks are at 60*
