I had a "customer" disappear on me after I rebuilt a power steering rack for
them.  I've waited 3 weeks, that's enough.  If anyone needs a completely
rebuilt power steering rack (does not include tie rods), I've got on for
sale: $150 (plus $100 core charge, full refund upon receipt of your old
rack), plus shipping.  Fits all Vanagons with power steering and includes 12
month warranty.

Cheers,

Jeff
