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 |
