Well it is finally coming, after 11 years of daily driving and potholes, 3 different shops believe the steering rack is going. Nothing is leaking yet, I only hear creaking on both outer tie rods. When they raised the car on a platform, they turned the steering wheel and had me put my hand on the outer rod and I could feel a slight vibration. At low speeds when turning the wheel, I hear the creek, it sounds like a bad strut mount bearing but the noise is not high enough for that to be the issue, which I wish it was.
Normally if something breaks, I will visit various websites and order the part or goto the mechanic and they order the part for cheaper. The steering rack is very difficult to order online, is this something I should have the shop handle from start to finish including ordering parts? I am not going to replace it yet, as it is not leaking and I do not notice any difference in steering but I am preparing.
