I recently had my rack and pinion system replaced ($1400). A week later I developed problems with my steering and notice the power steering fluid was leaking, I took it back to the mechanic and he said my R & R power steering hose needed replacing and that would be another $100. I asked wasn't that all part of the work I had done with the rack and pinion, he said no. Is that true?

    Yes it true and its a good idea to have the same mechanic handle this to keep the warranty in place on your steering rack
