Needless to say I'm going to have the wheel repaired and tire replaced under the tire/wheel warranty I purchased and get a 2nd opinion.
That's horrible! Sorry to hear that.

Well I think the dealer is trying to milk me. It steers fine. I don't see why I need to replace the rack. A strut is like $800 plus labor. The steering rack and programming is what blows up the bill. I don't want to claim and have a tainted carfax….
