Steering rack arms

[Thompatruck]

Looks like the previous owner of my 440 had an accident and didn't repair it properly **shakes head**

Basically the steering rack arm on the passenger side (the bit between the track rod end and the rubber gaitor) is severely bent and not suprisingly is scrubbing my tyres.

My questions are, can this bar be replaced on its own? ie does it disconnect from the rack? And if so where would I get a replacement? Are all Power steering racks on the 440's the same (mine's a 2.0i on an N plate)?

Thanks, Mark
