Hi! Eric, Thanks for the DIY Steering wheel Rack replacement tutorial. i need to replace my 2001 Sequoia power steering Rack. Now I have an Idea how to replace it.
Thanks again for the tutorial.
Lillie1986, are you lost? Obviously your 30 year old Porsche has no rust, how many porsches do you see with rust? None, because who owns a Porsche without meticulously taking care of it inside and out, they’re driven about 1:8th of the time REGULAR cars are driven. Regular being civics and corollas. Quit looking at the makes, and instead how the makes are looked after, not because Japanese steel is somehow more rust prone, they’re given the chance to rust by actually being driven all the time.
i have a 1994 honda civic dx and both my bellows both are torn but i dont see no leaks and my power steering fluid seem to be fine it been like that since i brought the car.. would you recommend replacing the steering rack?
I don’t have alignment issues per say, but what I do have is a wheel that turns itself while driving. It’ll pull to the right so you have to hold it straight, kind of like an alignment problem I suppose. I thought it might have been suspension, but a nice youtube person suggested steering rack, which makes more sense. Certain bumps will turn the wheel excessively. What do you guys think?
Sorry, it’s a 2004
Hi Eric, Would it be essentially the same procedure for a chrysler town and country? Or is that in the “oh my goodness hard” category…

Wells after you do the rack, make sure to vacuumed out the air, my using a vacuum guns. Air will make noise on psp
hey Eric ,just replaced my rack and pinion in a 2000 ford ranger xlt and when i got it all together and filled up the fluid and stuff went in started the truck and the steering wheel took off side to side by itself and the pump had a whine that it didnt have before.idk what could be making it do that.defective rack? .lines put on backwards?.any advice? thanks
Hello Erick, I have a grand prix 04 its making very bad cranking noises when a turn, I just replace the tie end rod outer and inner. what do you think is the problem??? Thank you for your help man.
Hey, my steering wheel is really hard to turn at idle after one full turn of the wheel unless i rev it. The power steering pump isn’t leaking and it isn’t squealing. Does that sound like a rack?
A car thats fully galvanized, has good quality steel and has a good coating of underseal doesnt rust for years and years. I have a Porsche thats almost 30 years old and no rust, where as most japanese cars are falling to pieces litterly after only a few years.
Also, some cars arent made of steel and doesnt rust. And some metals doesnt rust, corrode or oxidize.
every car on the face of the earth, your car/bicycle, my car, batmans car, metal is metal, it ALL will rust or oxidize or corrode in some type of way, it doesn’t matter if it says Honda, Toyota, Chevy, or Ferrari on it. Could be a year old and already have rust on it. Nothing you can ever buy, short of making every component on your car out of stainless steel will change that. Common Sense.
You mean that older japanese cars dont rust? God theres alot of fanboys endlessly protecting fast and the furious on youtube.
Well I have news for you, they do, and more so than most cars.
that is probably one of the dumbest comments I have ever read on the internet and makes absolutely ZERO sense, congratulations sir go chew on the end of a 9mm.
in my state there are because of the salt
no?
rust is on every car dumbass
Oh!, and thank you for advocating safety glasses—–
Very cool service. My 92 Tercel has been nursed for years and my 17 year old daughter drives it. At our last oil change we were told it needs a rack for 1100. Sooo, we didn’t have it done, but I have friend who attends high school and I’m going to have his shop at school replace it. Besides the alignment after the replacement, do you have any other thoughts? Thank you! And, do you know where I can purchase a rack? Do I need to get a genuine toyota rack?
Wouldnt it have been easier to loosen the enginemountscrews and lift the engine alittle bit?
Main reason why Id never buy Japanese. RUST!
Normally you see leaks particularly around the area of the bellows. Sometimes like on this truck however you will have a loss of power steering.
Hello there Erick . when or how do you know the power steering rack and pinion has to be replace????
thank you
Pretty much the same way I show in part 2 of this series. Good luck.
Ericthecarguy any advice on how to bleed power steering system on a 92 camry.. The reservoir has 2hoses going to the pump & 2 hoses returning..
Thanks Eric . I ended up buying the whole inner tie rod with the bushing already installed .
Normally by disconnecting the return line and running it into a container as you run the engine, once it’s empty replace the line and refill.
Honestly I don’t know, you might try a different parts supplier. Good luck.
Hey Eric, How do you change your power steering fluid?
Hey Eric I just bought a inner tie rod bushing kit for my 1996 grand am 3.1L 3100 and the bushing fits driver side and not passenger side. Would you know what vehicle would have a smaller bushing ? Auto parts stores will only look up make and model and year . I’m stumped . I might just have to buy a whole tie rod . Someone switched it before I got the car .Thanks I love your videos . Very educational . I have learned a lot from them .
I honestly don’t know the answer to that as it’s never come up. Try google it often works for me.
Hey Eric, I was hoping you could give me some ways to distinguish a Saginaw from a TRW type rack and pinion steering system. Thanks.
On some that’s not a bad idea.
new steering device??
