That would depend on who buys the parts and from whom they are purchased…Steering racks can be purchased new, used or rebuilt…If you rebuilding the front end, you might as well replace the struts too…

Forget the internet and pick up the good ol’ telephone.  
Call the parts places like AutoZone etc and write them down.  
Then phone a shop or two for installation prices.  
How do you know this is all you need ?  
Struts ? Tie rod ends ? control arm bushings ?
