power steering failure

2018 c300 4matic with 34k miles.....


No accident, no wear and tear, no animal, no flooding, no abuse. Just stopped working.


dealers say I have to replace power steering rack. Cost? $4500-6700.

Anyone know if independent shops can do it cheaper? Looks like the part is the expensive item.

not destroyed. Not abused. No wear and tear. No damage…not even scrapes. Just….doesn’t work. See why I am frustrated?
