Default Need to change Steering Rack. C6?

Once more my steering rack is dead. Need to be replaced.
Will be the third one.
Has anyone of you install a C6 latest model (2009 and after)
apprentely they were better build.

And BTW is it a direct replacement?
if not what needs to be modified?

I don't think the mounting locations line up.

Not sure about the interchange between the two, but good keeping an eye for the forum major auto parts discount codes. Just got 20% code "LABOR" from Advance today, plus a $50 buck coupon for later to the 5th. You gotta order online, but will be waiting on the counter of your nearest store the next day. Bought a few top line Gold series batteres for $80 bucks this way from Autozone too. The Autozone 20% were actual web printed coupons, and just say the guy behind me with a steering rack at check out was pretty happy about it too.
