2 independent mechanic’s have given 2 different repairs. One said it’s time to replace the rack pinion. The 2nd said it’s not the whole rack and to replace both right & left tire rod ends and bellow boot. Here’s some back story I hit a pot hole and my right inner fender liner fastener failed and after hearing then smelling plastic burning melting I looked and then because I had no clue what the damaged was I seen the bellow boot ripped and then decided to take to s shop for insight.
