Also consider another option: get the rack reinspected by an second ASE tech and get a second opinion. You didn't mention any other symptoms with the steering, and if this was just a regular inspection, then you may be getting a "worse case" scenario. Infiniti steering racks don't usually have problems unless they've been abused or neglected.

Same thing happen to me couple month ago, I bought the steering rack used for $100 and got it installed for $500.
Buy it use and get install somewhere else you will save lots of money.

I'm having the same issue as you are. I'm getting a second opinion tomorrow by an independent shop. What they told me over the phone is that it might not be the pinions but one of the hoses. If that's the case you don't need to replace the whole power steering rack. Rockauto seems to have the best prices if you end up needing the whole unit.

Well, apparently dealership was lying to me. I got my steering rack inspected and it's not leaking. I'll be monitoring my power steering fluid level closely just in case.

Came in here hoping it was a "can a S steering rack be installed on a xS?" question. Anyone know the answer?

About 3 months ago my entire rack and pinion for my power steering went out on me. Both sides were leaking horribly and the dealership estimated me at $2,600 as well for everything, given it was a new part that they were charging for but still $2600!?!? I also have a 2010 g37xs coupe. I went online and found a refurbished used one for $500 and a local shop owner charged me $200 for labor. So if you ask me I saved a heck of a lot of money. Best of luck with everything man.
Contact this woman... she'll ask for your year make model and will find you one within minutes, with crazy cheap shipping costs. But most importantly they give guaranteed warranties on all of their parts. It's incredibly tough to find a rack and pinion for an awd with a guaruntee that its in good working condition, as they are different and less common for our cars than the rwd model. Trust me this is the place to get what you're looking for at the best price for sure. I did my fair share of research and they were the best an extremely helpful and answered all of my questions with professionalism.

Main reason for extending the warranty was because of the gasket issue that seems to be popping up more now as peoples mileage is increasing.
