I had the steering rack in my 2016 STI replaced at an independent Subaru shop and it was $730 for an OEM rack and $525 in labor not including a power steering flush and alignment.

The steering rack leak soon turned to a steering rack flood. The seals were basically plastic and blew out. The replacement has been excellent.
Pros: replacement has been excellent
Cons: seals were plastic

The OEM one that came with mine in an accessory package is super nice and also the most awkward and cumbersome sunshade I’ve ever used.
Pros: super nice
Cons: awkward, cumbersome
Vehicle:

I now have a 2024 crosstrek and the windshield cracked within the first 6 months too. This time it was a tiny pebble that hit right on the edge of the passenger side A pillar. They must use very brittle glass.
Cons: cracked easily, brittle glass

Now have a 2024 Crosstrek Wilderness and 2 days after I got it I found a chip in the windshield. I would say yes, the newer ones chip easier but that’s just my experience so far.
Cons: chips easily
Vehicle:
Subaru
Just noticed a small chip in my current Crosstrek (2021). Prior to owning a crosstrek, I’ve never had even the SLIGHTEST amount of damage to my windshield.
Cons: chips easily
Vehicle:
Subaru
2022 Sport at 15k miles and the windshield has a few noticeable chips. It is only rarely driven on the interstate. It does seem unusual considering my Tesla Model 3 with 30k miles does not have a single noticeable chip.
Cons: chips easily
Vehicle:
Subaru
Mileage: 15000 km
EyeSight-enabled Crosstrek windshields are larger than typical and have far less curvature; therefore, they’re more vulnerable than otherwise.
Cons: more vulnerable
