Also how does a rack and pinion go bad at 80k miles? Just my luck, the joys of owning a sports car
Your location is a "bonus" TurnOne engineering is in Saginaw and I'd suggest "no one" else to consider for a steering-rack replacement if that's what your told is needed. The Ecklers piece that you've priced is a "generic build" of one that's failed for who knows what reason. A quality build of yours might likely be more expensive but it will last if done by a quality builder.

I don't know if Muskegon Brake does steering-racks or not but they could certainly accomplish a repair. It appears from this information page they do steering-racks:

You do NOT want to do this repair more than once - I'd suggest a conversation with either.
