'Racking' my brain - answers to followup questions, and THANKS!

About the steering rack-
I am not 100% certain, but I recall that Audi in fact redesigned the
steering rack in the type 44 at least once, because of the leaking
problems.

Could it be that Jorgen is rebuilding the old, trouble-prone rack rather
than
the newer design, and that really is the root of the problem?

I hope my '91 200 doesn't start doing this, I'll be unhappy. My mechanic
can get
rebuilt racks for about $300, so more than Jorgen, but same lifetime
warranty,
so they're out there.
