The steering box needs to be rebuild and I can not find a kit, so some one told me to put a rack & pinion steering from an 80 Omi in. I have looked at putting the unit in, but I am not sure where to connect the rack & pinion to? Does it have to be connected to the frame or can it be connected to the axle. The axle will move up & down about 3 inches.

I would follow the link Grigg posted.
And yes, a rack needs to be connected to the frame, or you will bind the steering during suspension travel(bad)
