It sounds more like the rack itself is the problem - typical morning sickness.
You have options:
a) find a used rack for about 250.00 or less and install it yourself or have someone do it for you - a couple hours of incredibly dirty labour (having done a few) - should come it at less than half the quote maybe less;
b) remove the PS belt and drive it without PS - the stiffness will go away but it will be harder to turn at a dead stop;
c) Put in an additive (stop leak stuff) - have never done this but it may buy some time.Others can specify what works.
d) verify that is in fact the U joint - if it is so you SHOULD get it fixed asap but I'd get a second opinion on that before proceeding. You could check it yourself with a second person - looking for slop or play at the joint when you turn the wheel.
