Reply to "Steering Rack"

There are currently two different ebay sellers that are offering the 308 racks at around $250 w shipping. I contacted both to ask who is the manufacturer.

The first http://www.ebay.com/itm/330919852533 is APX Autoparts. They replied:
Dear rbarkley671,
It is a apx private label.
Thank you

- apxautoparts

The second is http://www.ebay.com/itm/161030024352 Car Steering Experts. They replied:
Dear rbarkley671,
The manufacturer is Atlantic Automotive Enterprises.

Here is the listing of the part on the AAE web site:

They also offer remanufactured 4308 racks but have none in stock.

Rockauto also offers the 4308n AAE rack but at $400.

Anyway, AAE looks to be a well established outfit and, with modern materials and manufacturing these units could be of better quality than the originals. I also suspect that the apxautoparts part is also AAE.
