any one in the north ever had there p/s rack pinion go out it hit neg 40 last week and the shop said a seal broke and they have to replace the who p/s rack pinion for that seal. 100 deduct but it was 800 total

Yes, it occasionally happens when the ps fluid gets too thick - have them put synthetic fluid in when they change it.

That price is insane. i just got mine replaced for $300.

i will have them put some syntetic in the price is cause of my location in fairbanks alaska prices arent to cheap for anything.
