Rack & Pinion CRACKED in half
yes you read that right. I was going over my car i recently bought and found the rack is cracked literally in half. i would of never known it was like this as it drives fine with no noises. Has anyone else ever had this happen before?
I was also wondering if anyone had experience in overhauling these racks. I ask b/c the break is on the intermediate shaft side so i was thinking of swapping a used one and retaining my motor since its programmed to the car as i hear if i change the entire thing, Mazda will have to do a centering procedure.
