Installing a Rack & Pinion 

Precise and to the point. New reservoir is a good tip for older cars.

Really really good video! Very organized concise video! I’ll try calling y’all later for a rack for me. Thank you so very much!

Thank you so much for the extra information. No other video explained about the importance of installing a new reservoir so you saved me a future headache. Your instructions were precise and clear.

Thank you so much for this so detailed explanation. I was able to do this replacement on a 2014 GMC Yukon following this video. A couple of things I noticed along the way, which are not mentioned here though: 1. The new rack and pinion comes with two unopened rubber seals for the connection lines to the steering wheel fluid. However, they can easily be mistaken with temporary seals to be discarded. If so, then the fluid lines do not seal at all. The rubber seals have to be opened up a bit before placing them in their positions again. 2. Steering after the installation is harder. It appears that there is something called pre-load adjustment with a bolt located on the base of the pinion, in order to loosen up the steering movement. In my case, even though I counted the turns of the tie rods, the pinion shaft did not properly aligned with the clamp hole. Since the instructions clearly state not to move the steering wheel, as it is already centered, I had to move the pinion shaft to make it align and have the clamp fall in place, and then re-adjust the tie rods, as the wheels were now off center.

Thank you for your time explaining!!!

Thank you for your time explaining this process, greatly appreciated!

Thank you so much for taking the time to create and post this video. I look forward to more videos from you.

Brilliant presentation.

Very good video, thank you

Everything clean and CLEARE thank you

Great video/instructions

Awesome video, What a Pro !!

Y’all make this look soooo easy. Lol. Good job

For the tie rods just count each rotation

Thank you thank you so much!

Very informative video, Thanks much for sharing.

This is a professional step-by-step video on how to replace a Rack and Pinion. Great details. Thank you. Wish I could bring my car to your shop in Memphis, Ten. Do you have a recommended shop in New York City? Any recommendations? I'll look for your answer. Thanks again.

My mechanic says my seals in mine have gone out. I have power steering fluid all over the bottom of my truck. At first I thought it was the pump but given how it feels when I drive it, it makes complete sense that it is the rack & pinion. The way my steering feels when I hit the tiniest pothole. I'm getting it fixed but I can't until after Christmas. I just won't drive it until then because I've had to replace one that went out during driving in my car so I know that endgame. You ain't moving that steering wheel no matter what you do, I had trouble getting it off the road. Lucky for me he's a certified mechanic but close family friend so I won't be paying as much as a shop charges😏. He done my brother's about a year ago.

I can do this myself but I got to get a alignment and a scanner for the replacement rack.

Thank you Sir 👍👍👍

sadly, your company no longer have replacement rack for my 95 Civic. Do you have a recommendation for a high quality brand?

Please make too for volvo s80 steering rack change and how to install it🙏🏻

Buen vídeo

Ahhh the 2000’s Avalon just like mine

So if you mess up with reinstalling this part how much would a car mechanic charge you to fix it? Would suck if you relize the steering wheel is worst after putting new rack & pin on and have to have it towed. luckily for me I have triple A so i would get free towing.

What size is the fitting I need to remove on rack To switch lines ?

Hello I have jeep cherokee 2018, there is a clunking sound when I start driving and steering the wheel to the Right, no clunking if the car is parked for a while and try to steer only starts when the viechile is being driven, but after driving for 30 min then you can hear that clunk sound even when parked. The dealership inspected and recommend new steering rack and pinion. My vehicle has only done 89000km and is 2018 year. Is it safe to be driving with that sound or does is need replacement immediately?

Hi mate ! After I center the Rack, How do I know the number of visible threads to be left on the new inner tie rods, when I don’t have the old rack for reference? As I see in the video, you could get the reference measurement for the new rack from the old rack.

What can I do to plug in the symptoms to keep it driving?

I recently had my electric rack and pinion repaired, but now my steering feels extremely stiff. What should I do?

My 2013 Camaro has a huge leak where the steering column goes in at the top. I can't find anything for just getting a seal for that unfortunately. Will be using this video Monday for replacement. Any recommendations for alternative ways to lock the wheel?

What will happen if you install it right away? Skipping to center rack

Hi I have a 2012 GMC YUKON XL SLT 5.3 4WD with 285,000 miles. I have changed a hub bearing, and the inner tie rods. How do I tell if the steering rack is bad. While driving on the highway, I get a drift in the lane and a little play in the wheel. I have unlimited wheel alignments and have it aligned after the part replacements. Just got back from a long trip to Florida Great video by the way. Thanks JoeMc

I cannot seem to get the old rack and pinion out of my Nissan Titan pro 4x4. Any tips out there?

But you didn,t mentioned check valve on pressure line side in Rack should be replaced and inserted in new Rack and some new ones they have build in Rak .

Hey guys, great video here. I am preparing to do this job and these tips will help. I wonder if you could recommend a brand for a replacement rack? Looks like my options are Cardone, and ACDelco for remanufactured or BBB, and Edelmann for brand new. Don't want to do the job twice so i am looking for the best. '07 Monte Carlo SS. Thanks in advance!

Hi do you do service to install the racks .

Very inculcating

5:35 timeframe, what did you use to clean the hydraulic lines?

I have a 2002 Toyota Sequoia limited n my steering wheel went out 😮 don't know what to do

Clean out the lines with - what - spray fluid not stated? Turn the engine over but not let it start? How?

To get to the rack on my car I had to drop the subframe they don't show you that😊

Does this cause a wobble? I moved my tire from side to side and could feel a small pop from the rack and pinion the boot is tore from one side. Took it on the freeway and the steering wheel went left and right really quickly Like a person was going left and right quickly and had a wobble or vibration the wheel bearings felt tight.

so should I replace my power steering pump before or after I replace the rack and pinion

Installed new pump and flushed whatever fluid was in the rack and cooler. BLED system like I had done before, wheels in the air, engine turned off, and turn steering wheel left and right while monitoring the fluid level in the power steering pump reservoir. Drove the truck to get a wheel aligment (at Firesxxxx) and then drove off to test their work. Got on the freeway and noticed that the steering wheel was NOT centered while driving straight on the freeway. The truck was also pulling slightly to the right. Drove back to Fxxxstone and explained to them what was going on. Different tech was assigned to my truck. The tech put the truck on the lift, and began to make the adjustments without first driving the truck. When he finished making the adjustments, he drove off the lot to go test his own work. The tech came back puzzled and said that when he drove off the parking lot and made a right to get on to the street, he noticed that the steering wheel did not go back to center, instead the steering wheel was way off center. He continued to state that he proceeded to drive on to the freeway and after driving for a good 1/4 mile he noticed that the steering wheel went back to center. He didn't know what was causing this. I had never noticed what the 2nd tech noticed when I first test drove mytruck. My initial complaint was only about the steering wheel not returning to the center and the truck pulling slightly to the right while driving on the freeway. I left Firexxxxx and it was then that I noticed what the tech was talking about. The steering wheel does not behave the way it should. Sometimes the steering wheel stays centered but for sure, if you make any sharp turns and then hold the steering wheel to drive straight, the steering wheel does not return to its center position. Do I have a bad rack and pinion? Did the alignment shop make things worse the second time.

Would this apply to a 2004 Lincoln town car? I have a leak and my discount tire say the leaking is in my rack in pinion… will this help my car?

On a Ford C-Max 2008 will I have to remove the subframe to replace the steering rack? 1.6 petrol

How do you disable the engine from starting in order to do the power steering flush?

What will happen if we don't center the new steering rack?

Would you also change the power steering pump?

What sensors are on the side of the radiator passenger side 2013 Chevy Cruze

I have a question?

Why doesn't anyone show the part that I need!? How do you remove the steering shaft!?!?!?

How do I try to start the engine without the engine starting?

Auto body shop (NOT DEALERSHIP) replaced my steering rack after my accident now is saying after 4 months the steering linkage is had too. It’s A 2022 MAZDA! WTF

Does someone know how I can turn my car sideways safely to work on it?

Sooo my transmission was not shop replaced. The cradle was dropped but the rack and pinion remove connected. When I reassembled the car it pulled to the right. I got it aligned and it still pulled to the right. Got it aligned again. Still pulls. What could I possibly have done or not done during the reinstall of the tranny and such??.

What car model?

🔥👁👁🔥

How much does it cost to replace?

So how long does that take? My guy is saying 300 for labor just for rack pinion replace f150 Texas does that sound fair

I’m scared to do this by myself

😊

Im no mech. but sounds like the return line to the reservoir need disconnected in order to flush out the total contaminated fluid, not "to disconnect the return line to the pump after filling it with new fluid".. Think about what was said in the vid because old fluid is in the pump to & thru the LP LINE.. So, it sound like a waist of new fluid in the new reservoir... IM JUST SAYING🤷🏾‍♂️

Am a steering engineer by profession I work and repair all kinds of steering pump and racks for all kinds of cars..
