Default Steering rack parts??

Does anyone know where to get internal parts for the steering rack?
Specifically 30.1 were foil, 31 o ring and 32 spring?

If the Parts are available, roger@928sRUs.com can get them for you, but.... while I am a very stubborn do-it-myself guy, steering rack is not one of those things. While several here have successfully rebuilt, my suggestion is to just buy a rebuilt unit from Roger or Mark ( 928Intl).

Thanks, but the rack otherwise is in very good shape, no leaks, nice and tight.
However, there is some axial play, minor but there, and from going through a rebuild manual from ZF, it seems that resetting the tolerance between the input shaft and the rack shaft is all that needs to be done.

I'm also interested to know where I can get those parts. I have the same problem.
I would also need the same part (bushing) on the other side.

Thanks.

Mark,
when I rebuilt my rack I got the renn.... kit which didn't have all the bushes / seals etc. I contacted my 'local' ZF agent and got another kit the included the missing pieces. (I needed BOTH kits to get one complete set of seals etc).
I also inquired about new banjo bolts and threaded collars and a couple of other 'hard' bits I can't remember at the moment. I was told that these were available but I had to buy a small quantity (eg. 20 banjo bolts). As I couldn't justify that I passed and re-used the original pieces.

If you let me know what pieces you are after I could try them again and see if they are able to get them and what sort of quantities / money is involved.
