About a week ago the power steering pump in my Q became very noisy. I looked under the car and noticed it was absolutely pissing power steering fluid all over my driveway. (The stain is still there... :mad: :mad: :mad: ) I couldn't tell where it was coming from so I took it to my mechanic who said that it was coming from the steering rack, which was rotted out. I'm trying to order a replacement and there are tons of options, remanufactured and aftermarket, from Amazon, eBay, PartsGeek, RockAuto, and more. Which one would be the best in your experience? I don't want to spend a ton of money but I also want something that will last.

Considering your location, and under the assumption that "rotted out" means corrosion, I'd go with an inexpensive replacement.

The fact that you still have a functional 95 Touring (same as my old Q) in NY is amazing in itself!
