Welcome to the forum.
Some pictures of your find would be helpful. 4k for a base model ti that needs some work seems high, even with 80k miles.
Power steering leaks are generally power steering line failures and not complete rack failures. I would investigate further before sourcing a replacement rack.
Shocks and struts are not overly difficult to replace. You will need a spring compressor for the front. Mounts, dust boots and bump stops should all be replaced at the same time.
If you have more questions, don't be afraid to post up. __________________
