Just been and took my car to a ramp and gave it a look over...

First of all can the streering rack/column cause uneven tyre wear? and how much can a column cost?

Need a new inner and outer cv boot...cost?

Two tyre! Gutted!

Rear shoe needs doing...Cost? any ideas oh and bearing also?

Can someone shed some light on costs with out without labour and how much labour time im looking at?

Thanks

took your car to a ramp..? you mean you had your car put on a ramp im guessing?

steering rack and steering column are two diffrent things, witch are you on about?
steering rack can cost anywhere from a cheap one £100 to £600 depending on car!

cv boots are about £20 each in parts

two tyre..? what about tyres? i dont understand that part.

steering rack can cause un even tyre wear if its buggerd but i dout it would be it would probably be the track rod ends.

you can only fail a rack if its leaking or insecure.

were you drunk when you wrote this or do you not speak very good english?
