Thank You Bruce,
Steering is a part of the car I have very little experience with (mechanically), I've read different forums w/ no certain recommendation for rack remanufacturers and the prices vary widely from $150-$350, through the parts suppliers I use regularly. I spoke to the folks at Jorgen Auto yesterday, and Their's is ~$200, for a warranted rebuilt OEM product. Any experience with this? is it all the same? I'm thinking because this work requires an alignment I'll just leave it to a mechanic (not because I lack the skills but because summer is almost over, and I have a 18mo. old that I'd rather spend an afternoon with than under the car. I have a great local tire shop/mechanic that does this work- does it make sense to take it to him rather than my Volvo Mechanic where the alignment work can been done at the same location?
