re: Steering Rack Rebuild

[Cliff Dawson <dawson@specialdevices.com>]

Scott Mockry's page http://www.teleport.com/~scottmo/index.html does not 
have info on the rack job, but Chris Miller's
http://members.aol.com/c1j1miller/index.html does.  There are several 
postings with lots of good tips.

I just ordered my rebuilt rack from Jorgen (800) 333-0600 for $185 + $22 
shipping.  There is a core charge of $150, but the $22 shipping cost 
includes a return to sender coupon, so all that you have to do is put your 
hosed rack in the box and call UPS for a pick up.  I was contemplating 
doing the seal job myself, but later came to my senses and bought the 
rebuild.  I should get it by Friday so I can look forward to a fun filled 
weekend.

Thanks to Dave Conner for his guidance.

I haven't been watching this thread close enough so have a couple 
questions.
Where do you get the ZF rebuilt racks and for what cost?  The rebuilt I 
have
on my 5kcst is going after about 70k miles the original went 150k.  Where 
do
I find Scott Mockry's page?  The mechanic that replaced my rack, not an 
Audi
mechanic, said it was the most difficult rack he had ever replaced.
