First off, noob here, I hear great things about this forum. Unfortunately my first post is a bit of a downer.
I recently took in my 2001 LX470 with 152k miles to a toyota dealership here in austin because there is a lot play in the tires. They told me that there were a couple things I needed replaced:
1. Steering rack and pinion (due to leaks)
2. Power steering lines and pump (due to leaks)
I was wondering what I should be expecting to pay for something like this as I, unfortunately, cannot do something this involved myself. They quoted me 1500 for the rack to be replaced and 1800 to do the power steering lines and pumps. That is a lot of money for a truck worth 10k-ish and I just want to know if this quote is accurate and if so, is it even worth doing? Please help, thanks.
