How to Replace a Power Steering Rack

1.Drain the power steering fluid, loosen the front wheel nuts and jack up the car. Once the vehicle is properly supported on the jack stands, remove the front wheel lug nuts and the wheels.
2.Disconnect the tie rods
Detach the clamps connecting the steering column to the piston. Disconnect the outer rod ends using a special tie rod separator or ball joint fork. Loosen the nuts and turn the rods.
3.Remove the faulty steering rack
Insert a drainage pan under the car to catch any fluid and unbolt the power steering rack from its seating. Remove the rack via one of the wheel wells. Use plenty of effort, patience and ingenuity.
4.Install the new power steering rack
Using the same exit point as your entry point, insert the replacement rack into position using the required force. Measure the length of the old rack to determine the precise positions of the tie and cotter pins. Insert the pins in the new rack.
5.Reattach the hoses, except the steering fluid reservoir return line. Replace the components that were removed to enable access to the rack, together with the front wheels.
6.Bleed the power steering system
Start the car. Turn the steering wheel back and forth for about 15 minutes to release air trapped in the system. Turn off the engine and let it stand before topping up the reservoir with fluid.If the fluid is light brown in colour or has foam on the top, repeat the process until the fluid is clear. Reattach the reservoir hose, remove the drainage pan, lower the car and tighten the wheel nuts.
