2002 Silverado 5.3L RWD Rack and Pinion (Steering Gear)

[Gito]

Time to replace the Rack and Pinion on my 2002 Chevy Silverado.

I have no idea who's manufacturing good quality rack and pinion/steering gears these days.

Jorgen Automotive rebuilt my father-in-law's rack and pinion a few years ago, but they have since closed shop.

Any advice is greatly appreciated

I just had my 2011 chevy colorado rack replaced, my mechanic would absolutely not install any brand remanufactured.He said they had too many problems with Reman.So I requested AC DELCO I saw the box it came in,it had ACDELCO stickers.The rack was marked -

New Mando Steering Rack and Pinion Original Equipment​

My mechanic said the Mando is a quality manufacturer.

They are. OE for Hyundai/Kia, and other makers, I'm sure.

If you can get an OE new rack, that would be best.

Rock Auto has Maval

Steering Racks by MANDO only available from 2004 and up for Chevy's. https://mando.mycarparts.com/

MAVAL would be my next option. Never heard of them but if they are decent I'm willing to give them a shot.

Anything else out there?

Going to see if I can get a Rack and Pinion by Maval directly from them.

I don't know which auto parts websites to trust anymore. AMZN is absolutely out of the question.
