Volks, I have replaced everything in the front end ofmy 81 (the brick) and when I go over a bump in the road, etc., there is a hell of a rattle under the front end and i feel it in my steering.......thus i feel it may be the rack. I see bus depot has a repair kit for $89.99 vs. $300 plus for a newly rebuilt unit. I have had one of these off the car before, and it does not look all that complex.....my question is, what would said kit/rebuild entail?
