Pretty straight forward Frank, Out with yours in with a reco (exchange) unit, Give it a rough wheel alignment by sight, straight off to get a proper alignment drop old exchange unit back.
They are pretty easy to do. Goes without saying, new rack boots while your there.

so bit of an update
after some ringing around perth most shops wanted close on $400 for a reco rack and some where exchange!!!! time to hit up ebay... UNDER $300 delivered to my door! i was charged an extra $150 for postage this is the deposit for the exchange rack, it is refunded when you send your old rack back ( at NO cost to you ) add around $50 for new tie rod ends, and $30 or so for new fluid $55 for wheel alignment just under $500 sure a spent a few hours on it but hey we all love too! some tips undo the both the hose from the car ( the high pressure outlet at the pump, as well as the low pressure line on the way to the cooler ) as it they are quite tight and not enough room for leverage then lever out the rack, it can take a bit of twisting once it is out you can undo the hoses from the rack I attached the hose after the rack went in as i found it easier and do it from UNDERNEATH now time for a wheel alignment!
