Does anyone know if $250-$300 is a good price for a well rebuilt power steering rack?
The car is '86 Audi 5k.
How many hours to install if done by a good mechanic?

Thanks in advance!

I bought one for about $175.00 from an online store WWW.MEGAPARTS.com I had it put in by a mechanic friend of mine, he made me swear that I would never do anyhting to him like that again. But it is in, and no problems. I guess you will have to find a shop that will do it. Some foreign autyo place, and NOT a dealer. The bigest thing that you have to remember is that you have to use the special mineral oil (CHF), and not regular power steering fluid. Good Luck.

Took me 11 hours the first time I did one, maybe 6 the second.

I think Johnny-cat is right. You have to find one who would willing to do the job. I think my mechanic charge me for 4 hours. He did that in less than 2 hours. The price for a rebuilt rack is around $200 and it should last for the rest time of your 86 5k.
