Rack and pinion repair

I had my rack and pinion repaired on Monday and I found that the steering was tight. I asked the guy why it was so and he said it's because it's new and it should loosen up later. Does anyone know if this is the case?

I had a rebuild put in a few weeks ago. The first day I noticed how tight it was, but now I forget what it was like before.

a bit off topic, but where did you get it done and how much was it? mine's leaking very very slowly

Kevlo911 and MaxRandy: yeah, some people I've talked to prefer their steering stiff too, but I'm so used to it the way it was... I miss it.

kraimer21: I got it done at Peguero Brothers repair shop at 340 Grand Concourse in the Bx. Their prices were good. My boy recommended them to me. As far as the price, I don't know the exact price for the rack and pinion work. I had a lot of work done at once.
