I had steering issues. Some slipping and stiff and hard turning. I had a re-built unit in for about six months. The good people at Subaru diagnosed it to be the rack
I then went ahead and ordered a brand new unit and had them install it. They called to say it was installed but still not working right. There is now a popping noise coming from the universal joint assembly I think when turning the wheel left and right. Could this part be causing all these steering issues. I spent 618.61 plus 264.16 labor to have this new rack put in. Apparently the old rack was ok. I paid almost 800.00 for nothing. Has anyone had to negotiate with Subaru after such a bad diagnosis. The universal joint assembly is 167.06. The steering is actually worse now than when I first brought it in. Any knowledge or advice would be appreciated.
Mike
