Power steering rack leaking
Hi,
I have 2007 Acura TSX with 85000 miles on it and have no warranty. My car has an issue of power steering rack leaking. I am asked to replace rack and pinion. Dealer is charging 2100$ total.
Can you guys suggest how I should proceed now? Can I buy any extended warranty at this moment that covers rack and pinion replacement.
Thanks.

I just replaced one on my 2004. Also replaced the power steering pump came out to about 900 bucks all together for a rebuilt rack, pump and installation.
Find a local rack and pinion rebuilder and grab a rebuilt one and have a local indie mechanic replace it (make sure they are reputable)

Sorry for my late response. How about if I buy extended warranty and repair it. Since I already have 85000 miles on my car, I should expect few repairs showing up in coming years. So do you suggest me buying the warranty. I tried AAA and they are providing good coverage.
Please let me know your thoughts.

I had the same issue on my 2006 tsx

they took it out, i took it got it rebuilt, brought it back the next day and they put it back on
then 80$ for an alignment after

Have you tried to reach out to Acura on this? A car's steering rack should not be failing at 85,000 miles. They should be paying for at least some of the cost of this repair.
