My mechanic told me again that the steering rack and pinion needs to get replaced. (Any helpful links for that?) Other than those two items, would there be anything else contributing to the shaking?

Have all the bushings on the front suspension been tested to assure that movement and play are within expectations? With 194K miles on your vehicle I wouldn't be surprised if other bushings/components were worn. Replacing the rack would be a last resort for me unless your mechanic can show you on the lift how the rack is malfunctioning.
