Had to replace the power steering rack (OEM) from an outside Subaru specialty repair shop for $1100. OEM rack, fluid $640, labor & alignment $480.
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.
