["Lewis, Gary M" <Gary.Lewis@West.Boeing.com>]

Go to:
http://www.vwdealer.com/langanmotor/

They may have the kit, or a rebuilt rack.  Mention the Q-List, get a 20%
discount.

or try

Got to Audi, at search engine type "Steering Rack".  They got a rebuild
kit ($90) or a rebuilt rack ($285).

I'm not affialited with either outfit.
Many Q-Lister probably know other sources that may be cheaper. 

Goodluck
