I was told that my power steering "gear box" was leaking. I could see it leaking but I think it is really called a rack and pinion. Is that correct? Also, do you have instructions and diagrams for replacing? I'm assuming because of it's location it is best to do from under the car.

Hello,

Yes, they both refer to the same item.
In order to change the steering gear you will have to lift the vehicle up and secure it with jack stands.
Please be sure to check for any leak abound the power steering hose that connects to the rack.

I have attached replacement procedure diagrams for your reference.

Please let me know of any questions.
Thank you.
