I have found an article on how to do it myself, but was wondering if this article is just for FWD or if it is the same for Quattro?? http://www.audiworld.com/tech/misc.html I'm not sure if that is a direct link but if not, its the 4th article down under misc topics.

Anyone know where a good place to find a reman'd rack would be???

 

I think the cheapest I found was autozone.

 

Not a bad price at all.

 

Bump for help.

 

Wondering the same thing... BUMP

 

the DIY is exactly what you do. just follow it and make sure to soak each bolt with PB before you touch it with a socket

 

be careful getting a new rack, there are rebuilt racks, which only the parts that have gone bad are fixed, and remanufactured rack and pinions where the whole thing has been gone over. i got my remanufactured rack from a place called s&g imports in roseville mi. paid i think $419 after the core return, but i got a remanufactured rack and not a rebuilt. the number of the place is 586-777-7777 (seriously) and im sure with how awesome the michigan economy is they would be willing to ship it anywhere. hope this helps.

 

Lol..This state is done. Makes me sick.
I am eyeing my rubber boot on the end since it's looking like it will give way. Thanks for the local post .

 

no prob man. s&g is located between 12 and 13 mile off grosbeck. where in michigan you located?

and the rubber boot on the rack is just a dust cover i believe, i could be wrong. but they do sell just the rubber boot replacements, i've seen them. its when you got power steering coming out of the boot that you have a real problem.

 

I'm about 1 1/2 hours north of Lansing off of 127.
Good to know about the boot. Just looks like it's bunching up and getting stress cracks.
