Got my X back today after a week of driving a f@#$ Chrysler Sebring as a loaner.
Here is what was done:
.Valve cover gaskets.
.Driver side window motor and regulator
.Right and left front axles (The CV joints were shot)
.Steering rack. (Steering rack was leaking)
.Coolant hoses
Total: $3200
I only paid $300 for the coolant hoses as they were not covered by the extended warranty. Everything else was
The steering is definitely better. I guess I did not realize that I had a slightly fuzzy steering before. Also I had a slight vibration around 80mph which I thought was coming from the tires. This vibration has disappeared so it was either related to the worn CV joints or the steering rack, I am not sure.
