Consumer Description

THE POWER STEERING RACK AND PINION ASSEMBLY ON MY 2003 DODGE CARAVAN HAS HAD TO BE REPLACED TWICE IN 50000 MILES OF DRIVING. THERE WAS NO SPECIFIC EVENT LEADING TO THESE COMPONANT FAILURES.

ORIGINALLY INSTALLED ASSEMBLY WAS DISCARDED. THE TWO REPALCEMENTS WERE PERFORMED BY THE ORIGINAL SELLING DEALERSHIP, MONROE CHRYSLER SUPERSTORES, USING MOPAR REPLACEMENTS.*AK
