Fiesta MK 7 Steering Rack

[Chaxa96]

Hi, Very limited car knowledge here but I have a 09 Ford Fiesta MK 7 with 48000 on the clock. Yesterday it started making a noise when steering left (see video). Took it to a local garage today and they said its the steering rack. Any idea on the price range I should be looking at if it is that?

Hi Neb

 

So the noise is definitely coming from below the footwell and you can feel the virbation on the floor. I have no mechanical experience so wouldnt be able to tell you but its not coming from the actual steering column/where it goes in to the plastic bit which moves up and down

Thanks
