My mother in law has just had a wheel bearing done and the mechanic advised her that the steering rack needed replacing.
It's a 53 plate 1.8TDCi, done about 100k, is this likely/normal? I've never known anyone have to replace a steering rack.
I drove it about 100 miles a few weeks ago, it felt OK to me.
If it does need doing what sort of cost? I bought her the car and if it needs doing i'll never hear the last of it so i'll probably get it sorted myself.
