Thanx
Chris

Are you positive it's the cv joint? Might be the power steering pump going bad. Mine is on the fritz right now, so just thought i'd chime in...

Yes the cv joint is bad . You can get a rebuild unit and you should be able get it done roughly
$50 labour and the rebuild unit can cost somewhere from $150- 200

150 -200 is pretty cheap but i have never priced a rack yet
only because it is a varible assist

it is more likely the cv the rack doesn't click when damaged

replacing it isn't really a diy job
more of a pain in the ssass
