Steering · at 80,000 miles · reported Oct 20, 2010

2006 gc sxt 3.8 engine, had whining in power steering from cold start daily for first few mins, then quiet. At 80,100 had to replace rack and pinion, at 117,500 had to replace power steering pump, hose and resevoir, at 151,000 had to replace catalytic converter. What's next? Neither power slider works, both stop about 6 inches from closing, and will not open automatically. Should I keep going til 200,000 or get rid of it now?
