Are you sure its defo the rack?  I had to replace the rack arms, only around £10.  Full rack is more like a ton I think.

Got to be worth a shout.  Warranty should not pay out on wear and tear, but I wouldn't think a rack is wear and tear!

Steering rack is quite involved, need to drain fluid, unbolt banjo bolt from the P.A.S pipe, drop the subframe and rack clamp bolts and undo the pinch bolt on the bottom of the steering column undo track rod ends
