NY dealer quoted me $1048 inc. tax and HB. Belts, etc. will be a bit more. I've seen mention of 4 wheel alignments being done, not sure why that's mentioned unless it's needed, dealer made no mention of that to me. Two independent shops, one priced at app. $600 inc. part, another was $700 inc. part. These prices are for GM OEM part, aftermarket ATI (arguably the best according to the Forum) unit goes for about $500 just for the part. Figure 5-6 hours labor cost. Why do you think you need one?

They do the alignment because the steering rack needs to be dropped. I dont know if its imperative that they do it but they said it was part of the job. Who am I to argue it and it was covered by warranty.

And to add to what's been said in all the other threads, ain't it a damn shame that GM didn't make a proper one and, not having done so, won't pay every Corvette owner that has one go out, along with any other part that gets damaged!?! My 06 just turned over 58,000...and I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
