Default Rack and Pinion Question.

I need to replace my power rack and when I went to order it they asked me if it was the performance suspension or not, and if I had the 2 piece bushing or 1 piece?

Can anyone tell me what I need to look for and if I can just get either?
Thanks alot.
BJ

BTW, its a Advance Auto rack.

As far as I know, they all bolt in the same. Its just the performance version has a quicker ratio.

Thanks Mars,
I ordered it today, Performance suspension rack, it was the non-performance version that specified 1 or 2 piece bushings.

Steve,
Do you mean as far as ratio wise? Mine is leaking and hard as hell to steer with now, so I know its shot, I've already changed the pump.

Damn, thanks for the heads up. I'm kind of dreading popping those tie rods loose. We'll see how it goes.
