    It just seems a pump should not go at 38,000 miles. Can the defective pump cause the rack to go bad? I dont have the confidence to change these parts, especially on power steering. I am actually going to bring it to a dealer on MOnday. His price was $600 plus an alignment required. I love my Pontiacs but they have caused me more gray hair than my 3 kids......
