Need some HELP! Ok, I'm not sure if this should be here or handling etc. But I brought my 99 SS into the dealer yesterday to get alignment and fluids etc to be done. My alignment was thrown off when someone cut me off, my car spun out and I have waited to get it done for around a week or so, I had noticed the front left tire [Z rated Yoko's] the inside tred was gone and the outside tred on the right tire was fading fast [Friends told me not to, shows what they know].
So I bring it down there and later get a call saying that I need a new set of front tires, a steering rack, and a power steering hose replaced on my car. They wanted to charge me $1,400 for just the steering rack and power steering hose. They also wanted to charge me $326 on one tire, Goodyear brand. I declined and drove my car home, I need help now.
Where can I find how much the power steering hose and steering rack cost and what should I do tire wise? Should I just get radials for the back and bump the back tires to the front? Would this be reconmended?

Did they say why it needed a rack and hose? Was the hose damaged? Did the rack get damaged? I'd have it checked out somewhere else before paying them for that work. That just seems a little strange and convienient.
