well it doesnt feel like it looses control. I just hear a whining noise when i turn, and its not turned all the way. I check the fluid level and its all topped off.

look into a remanufactured rack from NAPA or carquest. they will take yours for core.

i can come to work today and check what the cost on it is. ill check both oem and aftermarket.

looking at your profile looks like you have a 93 sc300.

ill let you know by the end of the day. the price is just a reference. by you its going to be similar.
