My first submission to the list- so I might not have all the jargon down yet. 
I have an '86 4KCSQ with a couple of problems. #1 is the exhaust flange from 
the header to the cat. conv. The rotatable flange on the header has rusted 
through- header is OK. Any way to put a new flange on the header without 
replacing it? Also, both flanges on cat are corroded- anyone have luck welding 
new flanges to an old cat? Cat seems good.
#2 is rack. Rack shaft rotates a bit when I push on right wheel. Does this 
mean rack is bad? Any chance to rebuild? Are used any good? Who has best 
prices?

Moving to New Mexico soon- so no more rusty New York winters for this AUDI. 
Any good AUDI parts places in NM?
