We strongly recommend replacing the power steering pump at the same time as the steering rack. Swarf (metal particles) in the power steering system can circulate and cause damage to both components.

•   Location: Front steering rack & pinion (steering gear) assembly – links steering column to tie rods, mounted beneath the front subframe.

The steering gear is a central component of your vehicle’s directional control system. If the rack and pinion assembly develops play, leaks power-assist fluid, or the internal gear surfaces wear, you’ll find yourself with vague steering feel, vehicle wander or increased effort. Replacing with a high-quality OE-Match unit restores accurate response, reliable alignment and longevity of the entire front-end assembly.

When and why to replace:
• Noticeable steering play, slack or a vague “on-centre” feel.
• Power-steering fluid leaks from the rack housing or boots, or visible damage to the rack.
• Vehicle drifting or wandering on the straight-away, or uneven tyre wear pointing to steering component play.
• After front-end collision damage or when replacing tie-rods, subframe or other major suspension components, since rack removal is already required.
• High-mileage or original rack still in service and showing symptoms of wear - proactive replacement preserves proper steering behaviour and avoids surprising failure.
