I will have to do this at some point myself...
I know there are sources/sponsors on this board that can sell you the rebuilt rack for $150 - this is what your mechanic is paying as well then applying a 200% markup (I know that's what the local Saab spec I talked to about this is doing).
So - you can buy the rack for $150-ish... What a mech will charge you to install and then align the front wheels will vary. There are plenty of folks who have done this repair on this board - I personally am nervous about trying this one!
Also - I determined I had the rack leak about 8 months ago. I have been going on average 2 - 3 weeks (in colder weather) between needing to add fluid, and having overall decent steering performance, so I am holding off on this repair for now. It's more of a nusance issue with the PS fluid on your garage floor and other's driveways.
