Default power steering rack leaking

I have a 2001 au2, I got it serviced at the local Ford dealer. They told me it needs a new power steering rack and tie rod end boots are split. I check my car every sunday and I have never had to put power steering fluid into it, there are no marks anywhere on my driveway! They then quoted me:

Steering rack $570

tie rod boots $112

Wheel align. $40

Labour $130

TOTAL $852.00

I can get a 2nd hand steering rack from a au2 thats only done 39,000kms for $195.00 and the local mechanic to fit it and wheel alignment $80 for a total of $275.

Or do I get a second opinion on the faults by some one else before I do anything?

I would welcome some opinions on what I should do!


Thanks Diesel
