Sharpen your steering feel and replace a worn-out gearbox with the SKP Rack and Pinion Assembly (P/N SKAP262605), a rack and pinion made for the 2002-2006 Toyota Camry. This unit drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2002-2006 Toyota Camry (see the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full engine-level fitment). As the heart of the steering system, it converts your steering wheel's rotation into side-to-side movement at the tie rods, giving you a direct mechanical link between the wheel and the tires for responsive, controlled handling.
Precise steering translation: Turns your steering-wheel input into accurate tire movement for confident control.
Reliable connection: Provides the critical link between the steering wheel and the tires that safe vehicle control depends on.
Durable construction: Built with high-quality materials designed to resist wear and extend steering-system life.
Low-friction operation: Engineered to minimize internal friction for a smooth, precise driving feel.
If a worn or leaking rack is the cause of loose, wandering steering, this assembly is designed to return that function to like-new responsiveness.
