Tommorow i will be replacing my steering rack is there anything that i should look out for? Also in the manual it says that i should replace the bolts on the U-joints as well as the washers by the part on the rack where it meets the power steering lines... My question is can i get a way with re-using the old ones?they appear to be in good condition i inspected them but i wante dto consult you guys prior to going against the manual. i really would rather not go to the dealer to get new ones because the dealer is some 20+ minutes away and i would hate to go there and them not have the parts.

it's pretty straight forward, you can re-use all of the bolts.Count down to 1,000,000 miles: 490,649 to go -
Replace the crush washers on the power steering lines you take off/loosen.
This would also be a good time to check for any play in the ball joints and control arm bushings.'91 318is
