We took our vehicle to the shop and they told us the rack and pinion needed to be changed. My husband is attempting to do that but having challenges. Do you have instruction/diagrams on the process?

Good afternoon,

I attached the procedure for you below for the removal.

It is a tough job as it is tight quarters getting the rack out.

I attached a YouTube video of the procedure as well for you. Make sure you get it aligned when you are done so the tires will wear correctly.
