• Location: Front steering rack assembly, located beneath the front sub-frame, linking the steering column to the tie rods.
The steering gear is crucial for accurate vehicle control and driver feedback. Over time, internal wear, fluid leaks or play in the rack assembly can lead to loose steering feel, wandering direction or increased tyre wear. Replacing the rack ensures restored steering response, correct geometry and reliable handling.
When to replace:
• Noticeable play or looseness in the steering wheel or vague centre feel.
• Power-steering fluid leaks around the rack housing or boots.
• Wandering or drifting on straight-aways despite correct alignment.
• Uneven tyre wear traceable to steering component movement.
• During front-end or suspension overhaul when the rack is accessible.
• On high-mileage vehicles where the original rack is likely nearing end-of-life.
