i did mine 2weeks ago. easy peasy. follow haynes manual.
i put in a reconditioned rack and new track rod ends.
?7 per track rod end, ?23 rack.
probably nothin wrong with rack but 1 balljoint was well broke.
pain in the arse to get the old ends off the rack though.
good luck
PS to get the rack out u hav to turn it upside down to get it out the wheel arch.

I had to warm the track rod end up with welding bottles to get the fucker off! (you`ll need the tracking setting again as well) Do it yorself and save some money!!!
