New Steering Rack Going in - anything else at the same time?

[kiwiyoda]

Just had my 03 2wd Limited with 94k miles diagnosed with a screwed up steering rack. Its been wandering badly on the highway for a while now, and leaking from both of the boots at the ends of the rack. Toyota will do a flush and alignment as well as part of it.

Is there anything else that I should get done at the same time?

if they aren't coming with the rack, tie rod ends

Also, have them check the lower steering shaft and u-joint for rust and possible stiffness. If needed, now would be the time to replace it.

Check the main power steering lines that goes in and out of the rack that bolts to the frame. Mine looks rusted to shit and will probably have to be replaced soon before it rusts through.
