I have 911 steering rack (7820900166) and I'm thinking of replacing my stock steering rack (91434701401) with it.
What are the differences between the two and are their any advantages?

Well crap.
I got the new turbi tie rods in and the 911 spare rack that I had and I still have a wobble :-(
Soooo.
I've replaced the
tie rods
steering rack
ball joints

and determined
balance ok (was done not long ago)
steering coupler and universals ok (inspected them all when I replaced the rack)
Bearings ok (no noise or play upon examination/testing)
sway bar bushings all ok

I suppose the only other things left are,
the upper shock bushing
the torsion bar bushings

That said,
Replacing the wheel bearings just for shits and giggles seems an easier elimination than the aforementioned.

Anybody else got any idea's?

I assume you scanned closely for tire bubble/bulges?
I had one on my Travelall that was on the inside and was hard to see even off the truck. I balanced the tires normally and they were ok, later I had them static balanced and the guy noticed it.
A new front tires completely fixed it.

Good luck
