Rack and Pinion problem 1995 LS400
Hello everyone.
Has anybody replaced his LS400's rack and pinion? If so can you please share your experience (replacement cost, how you did it? I have just over 200,000 miles on it and about a year ago during oil change I noticed an oil leak on the right side of Rack and Pinion.
I am enclosing a picture that clearly shows the right side of the Rack and Pinion with a leak. Also during the recent oil change the mechanic demonstrated how the left front wheel is movable when he twisted it from left to right.
When the car goes over a bump it makes a weird sound, like something inside rack and pinion is not tight. I have been driving like this for over a year and the last oil change mechanic warned me that it may be dangerous driving with this problem, offering to replace it for $675.
I am in NYC, any recommendation which mechanic charges reasonable price for this repair?
Any help is truly appreciated!
