    Need to replace the steering rack on this car. Are all the 2004's equipped with magnasteer? I can see what looks like wiring coming from the steering gear, but not sure if that necessarily means it's a magnasteer rack. Any help on this is appreciated.

    If there are wires, it is "magnasteer", without a doubt.

    Thanks QUICKSILVER462. I just want to make sure I have the right one ready to go in as soon as I get the bad one out.

    By the way, does the sway bar (right behind the steering rack) have to come completely off, or just loose enough to get the steering rack mounting bolts out? Reason I ask, is because one of the sway bar mounting bolts on drivers side is stripped out.
