Dorman - OE Solutions Steering Shaft P/N:425-009
Keep steering input moving from the column to the steering gear with the Dorman steering shaft 425-402, a direct replacement for the 2010-2015 Lexus RX350 and the 2010-2015 Lexus RX450H. This intermediate steering shaft directly replaces the original equipment and is precision-machined for a tight, secure fit.
The intermediate shaft links the steering column to the steering gear and carries the driver's steering input between them. Signs it may need replacing include a clunk or knock felt through the steering wheel when turning, excess play, or notchy, binding steering. If a worn intermediate shaft is the cause, this unit replaces it. Diagnose the steering system first, because other components can cause the same symptoms. For installation, follow the vehicle service information, including the correct fasteners and whether the original fasteners may be reused.
See the Buyer's Guide tab for full application details.
