Since I am the one who stared this tread, I like to bring you guys up the speed.
After taking it to my local Monro dealer they found 2 things.
1: The Steering Pump Oil was nearly at zero2: Yes I need a new Rack and Pinon (with speed senative steering) rack
There cost was $1200 ($850 part -$350 labor) and an additional $60 for a 4 wheel aligment (total w/tax about $1363.00)
Well, I can't afford any of that, so I am shopping around.
But, untill then I have a question.
On the internet I have seen rebuilt rack and pinon units for $340 ( or $290 after core return)
Could I mabe purchase one of those and have some local repair shop install it?
And if I could, how can I find one that is willing to do labor on car for which they get no "profit" from the part?
