Had to replace it for 650 at shop. Sucks but works great now. Is this a common problem?

Mine is just being done (and the hoses too) at 71k. I got the impression that doing the rack on these cars is a given.

I'm guessing that too. I thought maybe it was my wheels:rolleyes:

yeah - these aren't cheap to maintain but ... you've got a beauty there! Even though they're a bit older our clients'll never look and say, "What a piece of junk." They still "Ohh and Ahh" when they see these older Contis.
