The rack is leaking so I'm going to rebuild it. Also going to put in the better bushings and brace (from Rothsport Racing).

Anything else I should do? Pin the tie rod or just buy new ones?

Also I strongly recommend you do not attempt to rebuild the rack as Renlisters have had good and bad outcomes and the considerable amount of time and mess involved in swapping it out will have to be repeated if the replacement leaks. I seem to recall having my rack rebuilt was $300 or less. The rack replacement was messy and difficult doing it on jack stands. Having done it once I have a feeling of pride in my accomplishment and the realization I would probably not want to do it again. Not sure better bushings do much as the rack is held down rather tightly. If you car does not have the added rack strut you will need the 80mm bolts for two of the bolt positions that clap the strut in place. It seems to me that the strut is just a light
metal bar and could be duplicated DIY with a aluminium strap and a few extra washers or made up spacers from the metal bar stock to allow for its clearance. Don't be surprised if you already have one.

Thank you again!

Due to my location, I am going to just order the kit and try it myself. The 'brace' seems like it can easily be made at home but it was cheap to order same with the bushings ($100USD). Seems fair.

Might as well install coilovers and do the A arms bushings at the same time

I did a reseal on my rack a few years ago, go slow, clean thoroughly...
