Rack & Pinion Differences (sensor vs no sensor)

I believe that I need a rack and pinion. I noticed that some have a sensor in them and some do not.

Can someone show me, or tell me how to determine which model I may need?

Power steering I assume? Try looking in the FSM's at the s4 and s5 ones, and see if you can find the one that matches yours.
