 I'm having no problems with my steering at all, so i'm not really worried,
 but the thougth of doing a rack job doenst make me happy.  >>

I had ripped PS boots when I got my car.  Mech. said don't bother changing 
the boots because its a big job and damage has prob. already been done to the 
rack and one day it will blow and will need a new rack anyway. 2 years later, 
PS fluid pissed out of the rack one day.  One day it was fine, the next day 
it was pissin like an elephant.  I choose not to do the job myself because I 
was at school with no tools and it is a big job because you have to remove 
the manifold.  380bucks and a day later had a new rack.  It was the most 
money I have had to spend on the rocco. Not bad for a 13 year old car.  Good 
luck
