Thanks for your reply.

I am going to post more pict and dimensions of the rack, looking for your help and input to make sure if it's the right part.

Sorry I wasn't more help?

The place you got it from "should" have given you the correct one ? But we know things can happen. Is there other info on the "ticket".

You should be able to match the replacement part to your old part and insure compatibility. Auto parts store that sold the part has responsibility to sell correct part. You can try google of the part no and manufacture to see if any cross reference shows up.

good luck

Is that your VIN on the ticket? If not, use the "de-coder" to see what car that VIN is from and compare that to yours.

Other wise, just time to dive in and get the old one out and see what happens from there.

Now I know why you are "around" in the AM, you're on the east coast like me

Thanks so much 'Big' Guys

Yes, I tried googling/searching the part and manufacturer, unfortunately nothing comes up

Yes, guy has said, I can exchange it, if it's NOT the right part.

Just trying to find out before I pull everything apart, it's a BIG hassle to go to JY while everything is pulled apart . Hope you know what I am trying to say

No, it's NOT my VIN but that's a good idea to pull the information about the VIN. Interestingly we both always connect in the morning/early morning since we are in the East coast

Alright guys, nightmare continues....

Now R&P has been replaced, but biggest question now I have is about Inner tie rod end.

I bought one inner tie rod end from Advance Auto parts, they gave me part number DW-EV283(Saying it's the right part for my car) which is currently installed on the car. If I look up on Advance website right part for my car is DW-EV342 and NOT DW-EV283.

Now my question is should I remove DW-EV283(http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/p/d...283&showTitle=) and replace with DW-EV342(http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/p/d...342&showTitle=) or leave it on, since it's fit and having no problem?

Thanks in advance for all of your help guys.

Hard to call.....if the alignment is ok and there is not an issue with the tie rods (inner and out) coming into contact with anything I might just leave it

Strange they sold you a tie rod for a 4th gen and not the 5th gen?

Thanks so much for you help and response PM.

So far so good, I do NOT feel any difference in drive or riding, but my question, is thread size in Rack and Pinion as well as on outer tie rod is same or it's different?

Because I don't want this inner tie rod to again strip the threads on either side

I'll see if I can dig up the spec's on the two and see what the difference is.
