Help needed please.

I have a 2006 STS Base with 3.6L V6 and RWD. I need a power steering rack. The available parts say either Variable Effort or not. The Variable Effort part says excludes NV7 option. How can I tell if I have that option?

I have a build sheet and I don't see anything about steering on the build sheet.

See the build sheet here: http://www.compnine.com/mycar.php?id=b326aa6e33e3df00e45294b9ddd6512e

NV7 looks like a high end ZF steering gear option and I don't see anything like that on my build sheet.

Please help. I want to order this part ASAP and get her back on the road. Don't want to make the mistake of ordering the wrong part.

My VIN is 1G6DW677960171279.

I’m kind of assuming I don’t have the NV7 options as it’s not in my build list. Anyone with some experience with this?

Just call a dealer, provide your VIN and ask for a price check. Then politely ask for the part number. Most are willing to do this

Not sure if this helps or not but it is the list of all of the options that your car does have. Definitely does not have NV7.
