steering rack and floor question

[STRteg]

Ok need to replace my steering rack - 94 teg,anyone have a link to a good write up on it? or any info on it as far as making sure the outer tie rods on each end are measured out equally? and the floor question... someone who owned the car before me didnt use the floor jack propely on the jack point on the bottom and the result was the floor directly in front of the drivers side seat is pushed up slightly anyway to fix it? going to replace the carpet soon and want to flatten the floor out without the hump before the new carpet goes in lmk thanks in advance.
