Atlantic Automotive Engineering Rack and Pinion Assembly P/N:64253N
Swap a worn or leaking 2002-2006 Nissan Altima rack and pinion for a new, 100%-tested unit: the Atlantic Automotive Engineering 3751N hydraulic power steering rack, built with OE-quality components. It is a direct-fit replacement for the 2002-2006 Nissan Altima with all engines, with one unit used per vehicle.
The rack converts steering-wheel rotation into side-to-side wheel movement, using hydraulic assist to reduce steering effort.
The 3751N is engineered to match or better OE specs in performance, fit and function. Outer tie rods and mounting hardware are not included. Consult the vehicle service information for the correct fasteners and whether the originals may be reused. Grade: standard replacement. Country of origin: China.
A 2002-2006 Nissan Altima steering rack may need replacing if you see power steering fluid leaking at the rack, feel heavy or uneven steering, notice excessive play, or hear clunking when turning. Diagnose the cause first, and address steering issues promptly.
