TERREPOWER formerly BBB Industries Rack and Pinion Assembly P/N:101-0213
Keep your Toyota Avalon tracking straight and steering with confidence using the TERREPOWER (formerly BBB Industries) Rack and Pinion Assembly 311-0213. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 2005-2012 Toyota Avalon, swapping out a worn or leaking original steering gear.
A rack and pinion assembly is the heart of the steering system: the pinion gear on the steering shaft meshes with the toothed rack, converting the rotation of your steering wheel into the side-to-side motion that turns the front wheels through the tie rods.
Signs the original may need replacing include excessive steering play or wandering, difficulty turning, clunking or knocking when steering, and — if your vehicle uses a hydraulic power-steering rack — fluid seepage at the rack. Diagnose the cause before replacing; if the rack is at fault, this assembly replaces it.
