Just got back from a dealership trying to quote me near $2,000 just for the following problems, labor not included. I'm wondering if you can provide a level-headed quote for these:

1) Under cover/splash shield needs replacing
2) Driver's side front fender liner needs replacing
3) Oil pan, rack and pinion, and oil cooler are all leaking

They quoted $300+ each for the first two, which I know is an absurd markup. I've already found replacements online for conversely absurdly low prices, so that's cool. How much do the parts for #3 typically run though? They quoted $1,100 for the rack and pinion replacement and several hundred each for the oil pan and cooler. Do these sound legit?

 

 

 

 

Do not waste your money on the POS factory under cover/splash shield. Get this instead:

I love mine, it's so much nicer. Doesn't sag, looks great (even though you can't see it lol), and has easy access to the oil filter and drain plug.

 

+1 on this a new factory one will just sag again and the aluminum piece makes oil changes so quick and easy....also it will probably save you from and minor hits your underside takes ..Ive had mine on for at least 5 years and its taken a sever beating on bad roads and its still hanging in there

 

Good news, everyone!

Different mechanic said I have no leaks. Even let me see underneath myself to show all the distinct lack of leaks. Thank goodness, too. The ol' checking account wasn't ready for that kind of damage lol.

Now my damn key warning light is coming on. If it's not one ****ing thing, it's another. Amiright?

Nevermind, just a battery issue. One of the damn leads came completely unattached from the battery. Had to tighten it up, but it was being a bitch. We'll see how long it lasts lol.

I'll look into it for sure. Thanks!
