Dennis, Thanks.

I have a brand new vacumn packed  rack complete including bushings along
with new tie rod ends, courtesy of Unca' Joel. So only warranty would be
the labor warranty and if that's done  right then the shop has nothing to
worry about.
Thanks for giving me some idea of the time it takes. That can easily
reflect the cost.

I want to get this right because this is probably the last vehicle I will
own and drive. I'll be 82 years next month and my driving days are numbered
I'm sure, though it's a bit of an unknown. The state of Alabama is already
requiring me to get my eyes tested by an opthamologist every year and my
driver's license is only good for two years instead of five like everyone
else.
