New to the site with Question on 97 Conti

[RedTxRose]

I'm new to the forum and found your site trying to solve a problem I'm having witih my 97 conti. When I start the car the warning Check Steering Assist comes on. I loose power steering but i can cut off the car and restart it and it usually fixes. Here in the last few days it just does it while I'm driving. I have been told it could be the rack and pinon. I hope I have that right. Can some one steer me in the right direction....hopefully the ck steering warning won't go off.... Thanks for any and all help...

yes it probly is the rack and pinion that was the problem with mine
that is very costly to fix if you cant do it on your own
i when to the dealer ship to have mine don
and it was over 900 dollars for parts and labor i think

I was afraid of that... I'm hoping that my SIL can do it for me... maybe save me a few bucks... Thanks so much for your help...
