Default Rod & Pinion

Where can I get a rod & pinion for my car without paying an arm and a leg and what can I expect to pay to have my old on replaced?

I could be wrong but the alinment will need to be done after messing with the steering linkage.

Steering rack is one of the most expensive parts asside from the engine and tranny to replace. Especially if you dont DIY.ECS sells it for $629 which includes a $100 core tha is refunded. So you could potentially get it done for around $550 if you DIY (which im sure is VERY involved.)
