Hi,
i just want to see if this is right. Last week my cars power steering system went out. Power steering fluid was all over the place. Had to get it towed to the garage. Just found out they have to replace the rack, pinon and the pump. They estimated the repairs to be 1800! Is this about right with this or should i shop around. It is a 04 mercury sable. Just had new tires, balance, ball joint and alignment done on this dang thing,
Thanks for your answer.
 
1800 is way high and it really sounds like they are guessing by replacing both items. Let's say that they both need replaced, parts: rack&pinion about $250. Pump about $100. That is 1450 in labor!!! Go somewhere else!! Anything over $800.00 total is a ripoff and that is being conservative.
