Hey guys, I haven't been around here in a while, but your probably nice enough to answer some questions anyhow.

A few months back, the mount on my rack and pinnion broke off, resulting ins rather costly repair. No idea what caused it. Had driven the vehicle lifted with some light off road for a couple years prior to this happening.

Rack was replaced with what I guess is a remanufactured one.

A week ago or so, I noticed the steering getting loose. Not very responsive and all that. Took it back to the guys that did the rack last time and they tell me the brushings on the rack have worn out and that there is ¾"+ play on each side.

They said when they pulled the rack out last time the bushings were good to go so they put them on the new rack.

Are there more than one kind of rack that will fit this vehicle that necessitates the use of different types of bushings?

Why would bushings that were working fine for a couple years suddenly wear out so bad so quickly?

The shop seems like good people, so I don't think they are trying to pull a fast one on me.
