There must be a rebuilder somewhere (ZF and Jorgen here in the Colonies)
that will actually rebuild the rack removed from your car.  Here the
turnaround is about a week, immediate if they have an identical core
ready to go.  The "aftermarket" rebuilt rack is actually better than the
"authorized" rebuilt from ZF in that it has stainless sleeves that don't
start leaking at the all too familiar interval.
