Consumer Description

I AM NOW IN THE PROCESS OF HAVING THE RACK AND PINION REPLACED FOR THE SECOND TIME. THE FIRST TIME THE RACK AND PINION WENT OUT AND THIS TIME WAS DURING DRIVING THE VEHICLE IN FOUR WHEEL DRIVE IN THE SNOW. THE FIRST OCCURANCE WAS AT 40,000 MILES WHEN WE HAD 6 INCHES OF SNOW AND THIS TIME WAS AT 114,000 MILES IN 8 INCHES OF SNOW. THIS VEHICLE IS HOW I MAKE A LIVING AND IS NOT USED FOR RECREATIONAL OFF ROADING. THE DAMAGE TO THE RACK AND PINION OCCURED DURING REGULAR FOUR WHEEL DRIVING ON CITY STREETS. *AK
