Hi, I live in British Columbia Canada I have a 1984 C4 NON sport steering( I am told,) I have changed out the power steering pump because the steering was heavy when going slow ( no lumpiness in the rack it is smooth just heavy.) I am not having much luck finding any kind of rack for it some sweating around the bellows, I am capable of resealing the rack myself whom would I go to for parts on this any suggestions would be great or a new rack i'm easy either way thanks for your help in advance Rick, ( Rickity )

Be sure what you have. Look at your RPO code list. They are in numerical then alphabetical order. Does your car have the option FE7 ? That is HD suspension.

Without HD.. Most people want you to remove yours and send out for overhaul at $160, not a bad price. Also if you can get Rock Auto up there...

Thanks very much for the info,i will check the code this weekend and then get hold of the rebuilders you sent me the link to, hard to believe there is no rebuilder anywhere in Canada ( what do you expect dog sledes and igloo's, just kidding ) again thanks Rick.
