“My car is well kept and garaged at night. In november 2012, I was having trouble with the car and was told by my mechanic of 20 years that my total front end on the car needed replaced. This required the replacement of gaskets, an oal flex, rack & pinion, and a wheel alignment. It was a very expensive job with the explanation given that it was worn out. Now, the steering is a problem with strange sounds and the periodic movement of the steering wheel when driving. An inspection of that disclosed that now, the intermediate shaft on the steering wheel needs replaced. …”
