You'd have to take out the old rack to replace the seal anyhow, and I's pretty sure the seal is cheaper than a new/reman rack. If you have a helms, the time, the patience, the space and beer, by all means just remove and overhaul the rack, get new inner rods, boots, and outter rods call it a day. But if downtime is important, you can just get another rack and rebuild it still to keep as a spare unless you want the core charge back.

It is better to replace the whole rack and pinion with a remanufactured one, as there may be worn parts inside the old one.

where can i find a reman. one?

edit:
it's a 94 ej1 w/d15b swap if that matters

True that. If there are metal particals circulating which caused seal failure in the first place, replacing the pump may be a good idea too, unless you want to completely overhaul the pump to clean it out. Most rack-pinion remanufactures will only make the warranty valid on the rack if you also replace the pump as well, so keep that in mind, unless you want to convert to a manual rack or make your p/s rack into a manual by looping it.

Its not that much compared to $900+ for a mercedes or bmw or audi rack. Dont even ask about the newer ones with electronic servo assist, which is a seperate module and costs a lot as well.
