Bent Steering Rack

Guest

So , while re-doing all the suspension bushings, bearings,shocks, balljoints, etc, I decided to remove the steering rack and replace the famous plastic bushing. Dissasembled and replaced bushing no problem. Now I knew this car had been in an accident, but with no damage to the rack housing, I was surprised to see the main shaft (rack) is bent at the right side, so much so that upon reassembly, it is WAY too tight. Is it possible to obtain the rack and pinion only without the housing, or should I just abandon it and look for a new rack? TRW???
