Did you read the previous thread that had all the information about the OEM reman rack? The info is there and part number. Is it discontinued now?

Who did you call? I would recommend IRUNOEM, as they sponsor Type R Expo and their Parts Manager owns a '97 ITR. As mentioned, the new racks are gone, but Acura (used) to offer a re-manufactured unit.

The closest thing to a new oem rack is the OEM reman rack or you buy all the assorted seals and rebuild your current rack yourself

I believe so, you get the inner tie rods with the reman. And I believe there is fluid inside the rack

I would recommend calling IRUNOEM. Cris will give you a straight answer before spending $XXX without clarity.
