I found out how pricey this things are the hard way. A few months after buying this car. I had to replace this part and thought that if I bought this part at O'Reilly's and took it took a local shop, I should save some money. I had to pay the mechanic twice because the rack that I bought was defective. They had to call up O'Reilly's and order another one. I wasn't a happy fella.

If you are handy you might be able to just buy the seal/repair kit and rebuild it yourself for about $20-$30.
I checked the kit out online at Autozone's website. Boy, there alot of seals to deal with. I may take this route if I can't find a deal on a rack.
