My 2005 Chevy Silverado has over 100,000 miles. I have what appears to be a torn bushing in the front rack and pinion steering. I am trying to find a replacement part for such bushings to avoid replacing a more expensive larger auto part. There also appears to be something leaking in that general area. Any ideas? Much appreciated
