I am not an expert. But this is from experience.

I have repaired Steering Rack of my Aqua twice. It was never workout for me. repaired rack only last few months only with very bad roads in Sri Lanka.  If only Rack bush worn out repair by replacing bush will be Ok. But if Rack and pinion worn out it can never repair. Just waste of money. Only thing Replace with Brand new one or Good conditioned Recondition one as i did for my Aqua. Guarge Mechanics will say it can be repair you can run year or two blah blah never true. you will hear daka daka noise within few weeks or months when loosing tightened rack. This is experience from not only Aqua few of my previous cars Suzuki, Honda Fit, Prius all the same. If any one knows how to repair Rack and pinion repairing Rack will be Ok.

Also if you are running good Carpeted Roads most of time repaired rack will last more period of time. and also check rack ends and Tie rod ends are tight.

Note that repairing rack will cost you Rs.10K to Rs.12K and recondition rack of Aqua will cost Rs.20K to 25K.
