Rack and Pinion R&R


Recommended Posts

Hey folks, Has anyone had to do an  R&R for a Rack and Pinion. I have not been able to find a how to do it in any of the Repair Manuals that I bought online.  I was told that the engine needs to be lifted to get it out.  Is that true?  Anybody worked through this before? I appreciate any feed-back....trying to do this for my Mom.

I can't find information specific to the 2010 (or 2009).  For 2011, it would seem that an engine removal is not necessary, but you do need to partially disconnect a few engine mounting bolts and the fore-aft crossmember.  This is a pretty involved repair, and I wouldn't attempt it without explicit documentation and an extensive tool kit.  Preferably one that includes a lift - a steering gear is heavy and you may need a second person to help maneuver it into place.  That's difficult to do when the vehicle is less than a foot off the ground.
