[urq] urq steering racks

[SpotatAshleys]

Is the steering rack on the ur-quattro unique to that car or are there other interchangable racks? The car is RHD. My rack (part number 857 - 422 - 065A   is worn and needs replacing. I had a look at the rack on a 20v quattro (857 422 065F) the other day and it has an adjuster bolt and lock nut on the closing plate on the top of the rack. Mine being earlier (1987) has just a plain plate with no adjuster. I would like to up date to a later rack with this kind of adjuster but just wondered if the same rack is on any of the Audi 80s 90s or 100s. I am wary of ordering a rack for a 20v quattro if the same rack can be found on an 80 because as soon as you mention a 20v the price goes up 20 times. Also any information on removing and fitting the rack would be helpful. I can see that a fair bit needs to be removed to allow the rack to be removed but I would rather not remove more that I need to if I can help it.
Many thanks
