Went to have tires balanced. Tire shop noticed leaking front and rear struts. Replaced all struts and strut mounts. Noticable improvement in car handling and ride quality. |
76000 mi | power steering rack and pump leaking. Repair shop wanted $2,000 to replace both items. I added Lucas power steering fluid with stop leak, no further issues or leaks so far. It took a week for the leaks to stop, no leaks since then. |

Found torn "rack boot" when inspecting under car to try to assess shudder above 60 MPH. Took to dealer and they fixed boot for about $200. The rest was for new tires and align/balance to fix original shudder problem (basic maintenance). |
