Just had the car into my local friendly Dodge dealer for its Mobil 1 oil change, and while up on the lift, the tech showed me where the rack & pinion is leaking power steering fluid from both sides of the unit. According to his information on the computer, these units are not avail from Dodge as rebuilt, you gotta buy a new one, and at $843.00, I think that is a bit excessive, even for a Viper. Anyone have a similar experience, and what did you find out. So far, I have found rebuilt units on line at a few places for around $300 or so, quite a bit more reasonable. It's not a terminal leak yet, but I want to take care of it before it gets worse. Any thoughts or assistance would be greatly appreciated, especially if they can easily be resealed by a reputable company.
