Rack and Pinion Replacement

How are steering rack issues diagnosed?

Since most power steering issues generate the same symptoms, it can be difficult to diagnose one part without checking the condition of the whole system. A technician will check for leaks, examine the belt tension and listen for problems with the power steering pump. If these all check out. After that, if no other issues are found, the steering rack will be suspected of failure, if the symptoms dictate.

How is a steering rack replaced?

Replacing the steering rack involves a fair amount of disassembly — fluid must be drained, hoses and electrical connectors must be removed, and the rack has to be unbolted from the car. Replacement is the opposite order of operations, followed by standard fill and bleed procedures for power steering systems.

RepairPal recommendations for steering rack issues

Power steering components are subject to high pressure, high heat and high speeds. Using parts that are built to meet or exceed OEM standards will help ensure the longevity of the power steering system. Inferior parts tend to lead to repeated replacement. 

Can I replace the steering rack myself?

Rack-and-pinion steering systems should be replaced by a professional technician. Many modern vehicles require removal of the front sub-frame while supporting the engine from the upper frame rails. This is a dangerous operation made much more safe when performed on a lift, with proper bracing equipment.
