Had taken vehicle in for routine maintenance at independent mechanic. Was informed that a bolt to rack and pinion steering had broken, and bushings had worn out. Bolt nut was sitting there, looked like it was welded.

Attaching bolt (drivers side) holding the power steering rack and pinion to the cradle broke, allowing the rackand pinion steering to shift in the right side mouning bracket. Bolt showed no stretching or shear force causing it to fail. Bolt hardened to 10.9 (on head of bolt) bolt is unavailible until middle of may due to number changes. (tells me something is wrong somewhere ! ).
