$400 power steering problem
So the dealership (browning cerritos) is charging me $400 dollars to fix my power steering issue that everyone seems to be having. There's a bulletin out for this problem, but since I'm out of warranty, they are charging me for the parts and labor. Any one deal with this problem and was able to get it resolved without paying for the $400 out of warranty?
basically $100 for parts and $300 for labor. What crooks!!
any help feedback suggestions or other dealerships i should check out would be much appreciated.
Thanks RX8 community.

why not just take it elsewhere?
Order the part yourself and have a shop fix it.

too busy to clean out the sensor myself. Seems like a real pain, and to be frank, too lazy on the weekends. I guess I'll order the part myself and get it done at a local shop unless someones willing to help me clean out my sensor and i'll buy you a cold 12 pack 
Any reco's for shops around socal that would do this?
btw. what's your quick solution thats practically free dozer? u willing to work for crack? haha jk (referring to ur icon)

Dozer is the man! just came back from his place and his trick worked like a charm! Cleaning out the connecters really do work! saved me $400! (sorry for not helping clean but my gf was mad on my case)

seriously, this problem is mad easy to do. take the airbox out and you will be able to unclip those sucker off, unplug the battery, take a chinese food take out plastic quart and soak that **** into electric cleaner solution for maybe 5 minutes. bam ! just like new
