Hitachi Astemo Rack and Pinion Assembly P/N:PSG0023
Link every turn of the steering wheel to the road wheels with this Nissan Altima rack and pinion from Hitachi Astemo, part number PSG0020. It is a direct-fit replacement for the 2007-2012 Nissan Altima and is supplied new as the actual OE part. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details.
A rack and pinion converts the rotation of the steering column into side-to-side movement that pushes and pulls the tie rods to turn the wheels. Signs the unit may need replacing include excessive play in the steering wheel, a clunk or knock when turning, or steering effort that feels heavy or uneven. Diagnose the cause before replacing, because worn tie rod ends and other steering components can produce similar symptoms. After installation, have the wheel alignment checked as directed by the vehicle service information.
