Is your quote fair?
A quote between $736 and $1,278 is inside the band where half of all Chevrolet Impala rack and pinion replacements landed. Below it is not automatically a bargain (remanufactured hydraulic rack with tie rods reused); above it is not automatically gouging (electric rack requiring programming, tie-rod ends replaced, subframe dropped for access, alignment) — but both ends deserve a question.
What moves the price
- Hydraulic vs. electric — electric racks cost more and may need programming.
- Access — many vehicles need the subframe lowered.
- Alignment — always required after a rack.
