Steering Rack
My daughter's car (2006 1LT with 2.4L) has a steering problem. When I drove it, the steering wheel chattered when it was near the center (there was no load to either side).
It might be the intermediate shaft or maybe the rack.
I am getting some conflicting information on which rack fits her car.
There are two GM part numbers for HHR racks: 25956915 and 25956916.
Rock Auto says 25956915 fits the LT model.
Other sources say its 25956916 is for the LT model. Also some sources reference a "soft ride" versus a "sport" suspension.
Anyone know for sure which one it is?
Thanks
Steve

numbers are different
but they seem to be identical..
unless one is $5 cheaper than the other
25956915 - https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo...7388&jsn=10598
25956916 .- https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo...4694&jsn=10608

Which suspension does the car have?
I don't think there is much difference in "fit", just soft (FE1) or sport (FE3), I would get the "sport". Other FE1 parts are mostly deprecated if favor of FE3.
My guess is the difference is lock to lock turns. One being more than the other. I would not notice.

Ok, so the sticker in the glove box says FE1.
At Rock Auto, the new AC Delco rack, which includes the outer tie rod ends, is $217 for either FE1 or FE3 rack.
The Cardone remanufactured rack is $114 for the FE1 rack, but doesn't include the outer tie rod ends (which I want to replace also). A pair of outer tie rod ends will run about $50 for a total of about $164.
Any reason the AC Delco rack is worth $50 more than the Cardone part (new vs reman)?
