The rack doctor Rack and Pinion - rack and pinion steering - rack and pinion remanufacturing - rack and pinion manufacturers - Rack Doctor may pay for shipping but he won't pay a core charge. Do you have a box for it?

Not sure if anyone does but I would save the inner tie rod ends if its an OEM unit and they feel solid. My aftermarket rack inner tie rod ends failed very quickly and I ended up using my oem originals with 200k miles and are still more solid than any aftermarket ones I have tried.
Not the original. It was from the dealer and did not come in one.
I found someone and we are working on a price.

If you have ever compared aftermarket ITRE's to the OEMS they dont have as much travel. So when offroading they can over droop and put stress on the steering rack blowing out the seals. I have yet to see ITRE's that are NOT OEM have same amount of droop as the OEM set. But if you dont offroad or have stock sway bar connected or limiting straps its not that big of an issue.
You dont trash the rack removing the ITRE's. The shop will replace them anyways and the boots. You can take them out without hurting anything. I would double check with them if they need the ITRE's but I would say they dont since they always replace them in a rebuild.
Edit: just relized you have OEM rack and those should last you 200k miles. Dont worry about keeping them.

I've thrown 2 steering racks into the trash now. Don't sweat it, toss them.
