I have play in my steering wheel and when I am driving about seventy and accelerate hard my steering wheel pulls hard to the left. My car does not pull when I dont accelerate hard.

Well can give questimate on Labor Cost however Part Cost would depend on your area. In my area the parts would cost about $700 in order to get a more accurate part cost you could call your local parts store, once they give you a price ask for List Price and that is what you will pay at a garage.

Labor als depend on labor rate in your area which could be as high as $500.

But I would suggest calling around to your local garages and ask them what the cost would be. I would also tell them your problem and see what they say, most will want you to bring the car in, if they ask you to bring it in, then tell them you will if they will diagnose problem for free.
