Hello guys, I`m new here. I just bought a 92 Stanza and its got a bad power steering leak that looks like its coming from the back part of engine. It also has bad vibrating when the car is idling or cruising but not under a load. I look at the tie rod ends and the inner boots are broke. I think I need a new rack.How much is a new power steering rack and is it hard to install?Thanks,Tony

I don't know much about the power steering. But I had bad vibration on my car. I replaced the motor mounts and transmission mounts and all vibration was gone. Maybe have a mechanic (or if you know how to spot bad mounts) check the motor and transmission mounts.

Hi, Your post was a while back. So you might not remember the details.I am struck by the similarity of your car's symptoms and mine. May I ask how you resolved the problem.My car is also having steering fluid leak and vibrations inside the car.

Thank you,Arun
