Darn! Maybe ping Rifledriver and see if he will answer you with a source. You might also try Dave Helms at Scuderia Rampante in colorado. I bet you can ship to him and he can get it done.

At Rotex I told them it was a rack for a medium sized Volvo truck. They can open the standard servotronic rack and look at it and normal parts off the shelf fit it. They just won't have Ferrari 550 listed and then go to box A and get the seals B. The tech will need to look at it. Rotex is 10 miles from me and they did a 550 for me just fine...under 200 bucks too.

 

John Cribb had his 550 rack done here:

Roselli Foreign Car in San Jose, CA. Roberto Roselli is the guy to talk to. You can find many great reviews on F-Chat. 1(408)297-0303 is the number for the shop

 

Update rack was back quick about 3 days total at ADCO. Good communication, good packaging and looks looks new! less than $1000.00 all in. Tie rod ends
were also replaced in that price.

They're good folks and have been at it for 30 years, give or take. The tie rod ends pose a challenge to some shops who will try to cut corners and use Chevy parts, but the Chevy thread is imperial, and they wind up ruining the rack. I think 2-3 people on here have reported this being done to their racks.

 

The things one learns on this forum...priceless

 

Just replaced my steering rack with a new unit (ouch $$) as I couldn't wait to have the old rack shipped to the US for rebuilding and back. But now that I've got a new one in and am in no rush, I'm going to send it over to Adco and I'll have a spare sitting around for replacement in, oh, maybe 2038.

 

Does anyone know who can refurbish a Rack and Pinion for my '99 Maranello 550?

 

@John Harkins One night when I was down one of the many delightful rabbit holes @tazandjan mentioned ADCO as a rebuild source. Search for that thread.

I guess Taz mentioned @Cribbj had used them.

It’s awesome how much Taz, the MSW men, @Rifledriver @fatbillybob and many others have shared and contributed.

MODERATOR should we add these two posts to the end of the original to avoid duplicatives?

 

Note the price has gone up considerably since John had ADCO do his work.
