My wife took our truck to get an oil change and they did an all around lookover. They gave her a paper saying things that need to get fixed eventually. The big ones were "Rack and Pinion seaping and grease boot busted...no sway yet"
Can anyone tell me a little more about these problems and perhaps average repair costs?

Thanks

 

they did an all around look over on the truck or your wife??

leaky rack and pinion is a very common problem... thats what dodge gets for putting a car steering system on a 1/2 ton truck...
I replaced mine myself for about $250 ish... (reman R&P: $180, alignment: $50, misc: $30) its not a bad job, just messy... oh yeah, i put new tie rod ends on because i destroyed the old ones getting them off that was another $50ish

i was quoted close to $500 to have a shop do it...

WElcome to DF!!

 

Welcome to the forum! I live about a hour north of Austin....you should come hangout with me and 04ramslt sometime

 

Kempner huh? I am born and raised outside of Killeen. Drove through Kempner many a time.

 

I think your going to find no shop will do it for less than $400, I had to have the shop on base do my lower ball joints and control arms since I didn't have the tools for it and it cost me $480.

 

Welcome to DF!.Dang! theres alot of texans in here

 

IMO, the best thing you can fo to get prices is pick up the phone and call some shops in your area
