Hey there! So, as the title says, my power steering hasn't been working for over a year now (mechanic said it was fine, probly didn't think I'd wait this long). It works most of the time, but stops only when I'm at a stop or low speed. So, I really only crank the wheel without power assistance...

2nd Gen Sequoia Front & Rear Axle Shafts + Rack & Pinion Boots Rotting Hello All, I picked up a 2013 Sequoia Limited 4x4 last month w/100K miles. Purchased from a well known dealership that’s all over Minnnesota. I just got around to going through it before the brutal Minnesota winter hits...

I am replacing my rack and pinion using a Chilton manual. It says to slide the rack left then right to remove it from the vehicle(everything is unbolted). I found that the access hole in the wheel well is not large enough to slide the rack out, so I disassembled the top of the rack to remove it...

Hey folks! I have a knocking sound coming from the front-right when going over bumps. Further investigation shows that the rack itself has excessive play and is moving around a bit within the housing. I jacked the car up and took off the tire, here's a short video of the movement that is...

I need to replace my rack and pinion bushings on my 2002 LE V6 Camry. The only issue is that I am having trouble finding exact fit bushings anywhere. There are none on rockauto, and at local auto parts stores, no results come up for an exact match. I don't want to take the part out and have to...

I recently bought a 03 Rav and noticed in the maintenance records that they had the rack and pinion changed. I know Toyota uses ATF fluid for their power steering fluid, but here is the dilemma. I noticed regular power steering fluid in the reservoir, so if I flush it and put the manufacture...

Hi I have a 99 Tacoma Prerunner V6, just changed the rack and pinion, upper and lower ball joints, and outer tie rods. And mounted 4 new tires. After all that the steering is way too easy to turn and the truck feels unstable at higher speeds. I've quadruple-checked everything to make its not...

I'm doing the front struts and a front wheel bearing on my venza, dealing with the dreaded rusted on sway bar links... should have the second one off tonight. to the point.... I was reading through the service manual for this thing... it's an AWD V6 model, and it appears to me on all models...

hi reddit, About 3 months or so ago my 99 camry died. Before that happened, I was planning on adding a body kit, new coil overs and few other items. I was also looking up to find a body shop to help put everything up at a reasonable price. Sadly I didn't get around to do any of them. I was...

Yowling noise: took to dealer because had power steering leak, yowling noise and some new vibration under drivers side floor board. Dealer replaced pump, rack, wheel bearings, CV boots and the power steering pump is still making a failing noise and the yowling is still there...and getting worse...

Hi Gurus, I took my 2010 Camry LE for its 70K service to the mechanic to find out there is a leak in the rack and pinion. The tech said that this might happen due the wear and tear as the seal might got eroded or so. He showed me the leaking part and interestingly I never found any oil leak on...

hi TN, I recently took my car for an alignment (I have lifetime alignment w. Firestone), and the person who did the alignment test drove my car before and after. After he finished the alignment work, he told me that the alignment is done, but I am afraid that the bushing's inside my rack (of...

1996 Camry 2.2, 185000 miles. (update: it was the ps pump. Read on.) When the car is stopped and not warmed up and the steering wheel is turned hard in either direction there is a sticking or hitch in the turn. Sometimes accompanied with a squealing sound. The car steers fine down the road...

Hi all, I am working on replacing my rack & pinion steering assembly in my 97 Avalon. I have everything disconnected EXCEPT the shaft from the gear assembly (gear assembly = pressure line & return line enter here) into the U-joint assembly. I got the bolt out but how do I separate the shaft from...

So does anyone know if there is a torque spec for the nuts that connect the power steering tubes to the rack and pinion? This would be for the flare type fittings. I assume if there is a torque spec then they would be different depending on whether it's flared versus o-ring. (For '94 DX) I'm...

My PS pump was making a lot of noise and the rack was leaking a bit so I bought a new rack and a re-manufactured pump (w/o reservoir) and had a shop install them for me. The next morning when I started my truck the new pump was still vibrating and making that whining sound. However, when I drove...

Hey Everyone, First post here. I recently bought a 2003 Toyota Corolla Le with ~90K on it. The car has been great, and other than some light hail damage ( have to be looking for it), it looks great too. I recently took it in to the dealership to get the oil changed prior to a trip the the Grand...

1985 Camry. 135k miles. Yes, only 135,000. Hit a big bump with the driver side wheel about a month ago. Since then my alignment on the car has gotten horrible. I have to hold the wheel like 20 degrees to the left just to stay straight. Also, when I straighten the wheel (and veer off the road...
