Anybody know which rack & Pinion brand is the best?

I got one from Auto Zone ($400) today and one of the lines was dented and bent!
This is not a good sign to me but the worst thing is it was dented and bent before it was painted.

Who's in charge of quality control over there anyways?

The ones from CARDONE look okay but how do ya know for sure?

Wow. Definitely not good.

Cardone historically are garbage. I had one of their rebuilt pumps and it made noise out of the box. Replaced it with an ACDelco reman and it lasted the rest of the life of the truck.
