OK I had a good look at this. I put it together in a spare rack housing I have at work today.
It seamed to all go in fine, BUT it does seam to be one of the ones that bind up 
Mostly it works well, but when turning left (on the bench, not in the car yet) the rack travel is limited by 5-10mm. It binds before it reaches its stop.
Looking at the rack a bit harder, I see the problem and think I can fix it. With both stock rack and the quick one next to each other you see a difference in design. The stock one has a big cutout at the end of the teeth section. The quick one does not have this, and it sort of runs out of thread too soon (only by 5mm). I think if I grind a section at the end of the teeth more like the stock one, I would get rid of the last deformed tooth, and this will fix it to allow full travel. Its a bit hard to explain.
If someone wants to buy it I can grind it to fix if they want. Im sure I could make it work anyway. But its not ideal I know, since I paid about $375 for this I think.
