Steering rack remanufacturers

Rack Doctor steering rack is installed and driven for 100 miles. Price was right, gaurantee is nice (test is when you try to use it), rack was shipped from a third party. Rack leaked from hose inputs and allowed the pinion shaft to protrude through box. UPS guy was a little worried. No damage to pinion or splines so I accepted.
My rack had a small bolt for lubing the pinion gear. New one had a bolt that was sheared. From research it used to be a zerk fitting but Jag switched to the bolt. Fitting hole is used to center rack per the manual. Email to the doc got a reply to just use full deflection measurements to determine center. I'll buy that but its not nice having a sheared bolt in a car. I replaced all hoses and flushed pump. I also redid some of the hoses to make installation easier. I have a two post lift, can't imagine doing this on my back.
No issues with core return. Never been a small businssman but on a scale of 1-10 communication was a 4. To give you a reference of what a 10 looks like for customer service. Jaguar Fuel Injector Service
Quick post. Email or post if you have more questions.
