Dear nsx2tall,
My 1992 NSX does have power steering here in NZ. I realise this was not the case for the US. The quoted amount was for the steering rack alone. If $5400 is retail for the rack in the US then I am not surprised as we always seem to pay more for parts in NZ.
I have a 1992 5 spd manual NSX at 134,000kms.
At my last routine service by Honda "play in the steering rack" was discovered and investigated as below:

The Audi Avus Quattro was finished in polished aluminium which recalled the racing heritage of the Auto Union record-breakers of the 1930's. The mid engined (6.0 litre W12 509 bhp) Avus concept car was first displayed at the 1991 Frankfurt Motor Show.
