I have sold and also installed the Maval racks for years.  They seem to be
very good quality and they have a lifetime warranty.  You can sometimes get
the ZF rebuilt racks but they are more expensive (by over $100 more).  The
Maval racks are a "long" rack that comes with Tie Rods and the boots.  All
you really need are the tie rod ends and the bushings and you are good to
go.  The ZF rack is a "short" rack so it would also need tie rods and boots.
We have the Maval racks for $325 plus a $200 core charge which is
refundable.  Hope this helps.

Thanks,
Ken Wilford

Subject: Looking for Quality P/S Rack

I'm looking for inputs on a good brand name for a power steering rack for my
'87 Syncro.  Also, anything to avoid?
