Steering Rack Replacement

[wtsnt]

I had my 2008 Cayenne S in the shop for front wheel bearing replacement.  The shop told me that my steering rack was leaking and noted that a replacement rack was about $2400.  I looked through some Cayenne forums and have noted that there appear to be a number of companies that rebuild racks in the $500-$600 range.  Has anyone replaced a steering rack with a rebuilt unit?  Also, how do you tell if your Cayenne has Servotronic steering or not?

 

Thanks,

I had a leaking rack end seal and bought one from a hydraulic seal shop for a few quid, I did post all the details pictures on here back in 2017. I'll try and find it. Where is you leak? 

Edit found it.
