That's the one I wanna get.. Had to get my windshield replaced yesterday so no progress this week. If it wasn't my DD I could start tearing it down but no go.. Next Tuesday hopefully.

Are you pulling the engine? If so, rear seal, front seal, change out the old gaskets and be done with it. Now's the time to do it. Worth the extra effort as well.

I talked to the guy at autozone he said he can get it. Just need to find time to get there and get it. Still no work has been done yet. Parts are still just sitting in the back seat.

It'll get done. Grab all the parts that you need for now. It's nice to have everything you need to do as much as possible at one time.

That's why I'm changing the struts both inner and outer tierods now. This is all because of a leaking power steering hose. Why not change it all.

I was having tie rod issues and decided to just swap the whole rack. I did the rack, springs,outer tie rods,lower control arms, ball joints, everything at once. Made a huge difference in the car. Now I need to swap the rag joint. I wish I could afford a Flaming River steering shaft. Not happening anytime soon.

have you tried just going to autozone's website and ordering it to ship to your house.  I can't even count on body parts how many times autozone's website said a part was in stores and online but at the store the clerks either had no clue what I was talking about(their english speaking skills had a lot to do with that ebonics should be outlawed), or insisted they could only get the higher priced item.  I started going to o'reilly's exclusively lately after having to replace a starter that car quest said was good as well as return a faulty solenoid they sold me(wouldn't stop cranking after the key was removed until the battery was disconnected).  O'reilly's was also the only place in town that had the breather cap I needed for my Bird's driver side valve cover.  I should look into replacing my rack and pump soon...steering has a dead spot in the middle, pump whines a tiny bit, fluid looks like it's from the factory lol, and I just don't like the whining when turning at low speeds.

That's one plus of having a power steering leak. My power steering fluid is cleaner than any car on the road. It doesn't stay in long enough to get dirty.
