Hi, I have question on "Rack,n,pinion" part
I recently ran into a piece of rubber tire on a highway
and I went to a body shop to check my car.
Mechanic told me my "rack, n, pinion" has a crack but the part is not leacking.
how much is OEM "rack, n, pinion"
or should i go with Aftermarket part?
if i do go with aftermarket part, which brands are recommended?

Thank you guys

 

he probably meant steering rack

 

No aftermarket parts available...

How did it crack..the thing is up behind the crossmember??

 

the guy told me it has a small dent but thankfully its not leaking.

do you think it would be ok to go with used one as a replacement?

Thank you

 

yea, as long as it has no problem

 

Is the current one working? It is an electric motor..and the cover doesn't have much to do with anything....

Put a piece of duct tape on it if there is a hole...

If it quits..get a used one and swap them out

 

yeah it is working.
I have pushed my car upto 80 mph and i didnt see anything wrong with my car in terms handling.
the crack is at the middle fat round part.
I guess that's the cover part?

thank you
