Common Problems with the AU??

[AUGASWAGON02]

Hi all,

I just purchased a 2002 AU Forte wagon on gas done 107,000kms, i took it to my local midas for a service and to see if there was anything wrong with it. Midas found that the steering rack needs replacing, this was not noted in the original roadworthy check and when taken back the tester says its fine. Should i get a third party to check it to see whos pulling my chain and with a second hand car warranty the grey area is the part is still working and safe (thus roadworthy) but for how long, Midas quoted nearly $700 to replace it. Is this a common fault with this car at this age? and do i have any course of action with regards to getting the thing fixed under the warranty?
