Lincoln MKX 2014, power steering pump issues
 

Hi,
We have a 2014 MKX AWD with the Ecoboost V6 engine. 63k miles, power steering pump is slowly failing. Dealership estimated $1,100- $2,387 (if steering gear needs replacement)to repair. Car has been driven on paved roads only. Regular maintenance and is in excellent condition. Any tips or suggestions are appreciated! Thanks very much!
