have sprung a couple of leaks in the rack. 1st is from the main body at the back, its comming from the huge nut! 2nd i found is a drip comming out of the left hand rack boot(has a small split) so i assume a seal?
so are this fixable? or would a reco rack be the go? if so what cost am i looking at. |

I think you get get a reco rack for around the $350 mark.
They aren't very dear.

The reco rack would also have the better warranty I expect. Food for thought in any case. Hope you get it sorted okay. GK

Dont forget a wheel align is required after a fitment of a rack too. Factor that into your estimations.

$704- that's about $304 too much.

I replaced mine with a re-co rack around two months ago, It came from repco and was under 300 and it was a exchange basis,

Priced these not long ago at repco. They sell reconditioned racks for $492 (changeover). Then you have to fit it and do an alignment.
Best bet is hit the wreckers.
