Any advice? Yes. Learn to make your own lines, they're actually pretty easy and you can make hard lines, flexi lines, whatever you like, perfectly fitting to your application. https://www.efisolutions.com.au/ sell a huge range of hoses, fittings, everything you need. You might have to outlay a bit in the beginning (eg I bought a 5 metre roll of stainless tubing that I've used less than a metre of) but still cheaper than buying premade shite hoses that sort-of fit. -

If by axles you mean driveshafts, they're supposed to have play in them. They are not hard to recondition, it's just pulling apart the cv's, cleaning them and regreasing, fit new boots. I've only rebuilt one set and there was fk-all wear in them, still running just fine 8 years later. -

Note, the aluminium bit that screws in the end that you have to remove to dismantle the rack is single use as it's punch-marked, it will strip when you unscrew it, and then you have to flatten the notch in the steel rack body, screw in a new aluminium end when rebuilding, then punch-mark it again once assembled. it is also 'somewhat tricky' to refit the rack>steering wheel linkage gear as it needs to be set to the right preloads etc. A rebuild is probably something that's better just given to a steering shop for a couple of hundred, unless you're mad-keen to do it yourself.
