Mine went out on me early this year with over 100,000 miles on it. Price shopped and went to the lowest bidder (NAPA) with the lifetime warranty... good deal I thought... After first week the new one leaked... Removed it and took it back for a FREE "LIFETIME WARRANTY" replacement... No problem, got it installed... 4 days later the new/new one is leaking WTF... Always from the ends on either side of the boot.

After removing that one I returned it and demanded my money back... I'm have no intention of swapping out my power steering rack each week for life. It was a bit of a fight but after going through 2 of their racks in less then 2 weeks... they did not argue too long and did the right thing... hats off to them in that aspect.

Took my 220.00 refund to the dealership and paid double... they had two racks available one "HEAVY DUTY" and the other was the standard rack... got the Heavy duty rack and its been several months with ZERO power steering issues.

My advice, pay a few extra bucks... I wasted several hundred bucks just removing/replacing the rebuilt ones... That money could have easily paid for the more expensive OEM Dodge Rack.

I can get you OEM parts at discount... let me know if I can help.

SPEED SAFE, AIR RAM
