    Paul,
    If you or anyone else need a rack for a 405, I have a good used one from
    an 89 with only 50k miles on it. Clean, no leaks, everything is tight,
    includes both tie rod ends, also tight , boots are good, no rips. Only
    $250 + shipping. Rebuilt racks are $450 to $550, new from Peugeot is
    $1,450 believe it or not. To see a picture of it go to:
