Update:
D1Guy and I spent some time together last night going over some options. As my torque sensor is still not repaired and he is having to trace every circuit in torque sensor 2 to find where the break is. Torque one works fine so we are half way to the fix. He realizes how badly I miss driving my car and offered to sell me the torque sensor he uses to bench these racks while keeping mine as a core. This was just so I could get mine on the road next week. The price was fair that he offered, and I could my finished rack, with new bearings and a working torque sensor next week. My decision?
I told him to fix my torque sensor, even if it took more time.
The bad news - I am still looking at my car on jack-stands in the garage for a while longer.
The good news - He will have the time to completely troubleshoot that one sensor, fix it and send me back a completely refurbished EPS rack in OEM new condition. He gains even more skills in repairing these so that your downtime will be way less. The cost of the repair will be less than if I had purchased his existing torque sensor. I will get back every part I sent him sans the old bearings.
Again, am I disappointed with the work being done or the timetable? No. I've seen for myself just how complex this sensor is. The simple fact that we (Prime Nation) have someone who can fix these is my calming factor.
Happy New Year D1Guy and Happy New Year Prime Nation.
