    increasing steering resistance and a catching feel the dealer looked at the issue and said i need a new motor in the steering column and that will be 2500$ and then went on to say that the dealership has never seen this problem on any car
    any other reports out there,,,, My search never found one
    will look for a used one if i ever feel the need
    ANYONE KNOW THE TIME REQUIRED TO CHANGE STEERING MOTORS?

    I looked on Car-Part.com in the Memphis area and found several. The Power Rack and Pinion units for a Prius are running between $75-$200.

    Memphis area covers AR.MS and TN.
