Hi everyone,
I’m looking to gather some input from others on power steering racks. My Grandma has a 2009 Subaru Legacy 2.5 Limited with 125k on it. The power steering rack has been leaking for a few months now. It’s getting to the point where something has to be done about it.
My gut feeling is to get a new OEM Subaru rack. The new OEM Subaru rack is about 800 dollars. There are several reman racks out there along with new units on Rockauto. I’m hesitant to go with any of these remans or new racks based on the poor reputations of these parts. Are there any good reman or new racks for this car? Most of the remans and aftermarket new racks are around 250 dollars.
I’d really like to avoid future headaches and just go OEM but at the same point in time an 800 dollar OEM steering rack makes me cringe when we got the car for 600 dollars. Does anyone have any suggestions or past experience with steering racks on these Subarus?
Thanks!
