I was not able to find a fix, sorry.

Just waiting for the car lease to end in a few months, have given up on finding a fix.

Good luck!

PS: You seem to have the right idea about steering rack.

 

i was just looking over the post and i cant beleave the insurence company didnt total the car from the begining. also were the front and rear subframes replaced? my s2k had a minir side swipe with way less damage and the subframe was out of square.
