This hydraulic rack turns steering-wheel rotation into the side-to-side movement that steers the wheels. Power steering fluid pressure helps reduce the effort needed at the wheel.
Signs that a steering rack may need replacing include power steering fluid leaking at the rack, heavy or uneven steering effort, and excess play or noise when turning. Diagnose the cause first. If the rack is at fault, this unit replaces it. A wheel alignment is normally needed after installation.
