Bad Steering Rack and Pinion
My 1997 Geo metro was making a small knocking / rattling sound when I went over gravel. It turns out it was my steering rack. Hopefully this video helps you diagnose your problem!
Just to clarify this is a manual rack with no power assist. Commonly found on older smaller vehicles. However checking this part of the rack for play will be similar for almost any vehicle.

Haha. That’s what that damn click has been on my truck for the last year that I couldn’t figure out. Good video.
I fix that bye puttin a small metal plate. Betwern the metal and the bushin. Ihave done it a couple of times
Sounds like a boost leak, no?
Just need new bushings sir
I hear mine when I'm driving and breaking
I have a Ford Taurus with the same issue. I don't know if I should try to rebuild it or just get a new one..
I have also been wondering where a similar noise was coming from for a while now, and then my power steering has fully gone out recently. I am already planning on replacing the EPS belt and possibly the motor if needed, and if I can find one, because the closest junk yard doesn't have any ram's with EPS. And a new one is around $2,000! from the videos I've seen it looks like your issue is the belt, but I'm not too sure. I hope you found a used rack for a good price and that it has served you well though!
Does this play cause tyre wear
I have a 02 Mustang GT and it clunks only when I hit the brakes. I can't figure out what it is.
Yea it might be because the extra play is shaking the rotor while you’re braking and your car doesn’t have a screw to secure the rotor down
Same problem
What was the outcome? Fix. What was symptoms driving
Hey there! Did you fix it ? If yes, please tell me how ?
you can tighten it, just dont over tighten or you completely ruin it
i got a ls400 with steering stiff hard to turn can anyone help out what to replace first ? pump ?or rack
I have this problem but it moves more in and out and only on the driver side. Which Considering the rack is a solid bar, makes no sense.
My PT Cruiser is like that. It's been like that for about 10 years now. I'll fix it eventually...
Your inner tie rod was worn almost out too! The tie rod arms shouldnt be that easy to move like flopping freely!
You're right. This was a number of years ago now I have learnt a lot since then!
@@chapsonco7891 I have to wait until tomorrow to get a bigger pair of channel locks or adjust wrench or vice grips bc the nut that holds one of the mounting bolts to the frame & rack & pinion
Could it be the following?(saw this on other videos): The flexible coupling (or bushing?)(563152K000FFF flexible coupling 5EA for Hyundai & Kia) needs replacing inside the steering wheel pump.
What kind of noise do you get while driving? I've checked wheels and tyres, balancing and alignment, wheel bearings and tie rods but the vibration is still there. Mine is like a humming sound with mild vibration at low speeds, does not get worse at high speeds, felt accelerating and decelerating.
Im having that issue too. Vibration when accelerating. I changed cv axles, flushed transmission fluid, 2 new transmission mounts, 2 new subframe mounts, tires rotation, and alignment, and still the same thing. Im now noticing a little leak on inner tie rod, and im thinking that its causing the vibration. I dont know what to do. Did you fixed it in your car?
@@OniVideo24 Turns out the wheel bearing hubs also needed replacement. Problem solved.
Put a melon gasket inside it? 😂
I put a rubber. Roud with grease on a Toyota 2009
Rack and pinion has a adjustable nut tighten it just a bit until the movement gone ( i has the same issue and that is what i did and now its fixed )
How do I find that nut?
Hi, where that Nut is located at exactly? -
Is this the thrust piece?
What do you mean
How to repair this kind of problem? I had the same one with my Ranger XLT
i think you can adjust that. tighten the pressure on the rack.. you can try that first
What were the symptoms??
Just screw in the pre-tensioner. It’s all you have to do to fix this. My FJ cruiser is doing exactly the same thing and it happened after I hit a bad bump on that side. The only issue is is what size for the countersunk Bolt do I need to use and where to buy it?
I just hit a really bad pothole and now my entire steering is stiff. It doesn't pull in either direction so the alignment still seems intact but it won't hold any power steering fluid. Do you think it's the pre-tensioner or the rack and pinion?
@@Yaaqov100 leaking power steering fluid somewhere
Rack is the issue.
maybe my car is having the same problem because I changed everything but that noice is still on my polo vivo 🤔🤔
You hit a big curb!
Honestly since your vehicle is so old just replace everything. You'll be happier
The bolts have lost the rubber gasket it has around them that hold it together! Look at them.
Wow.... it is the same sound on my ford escape 2014... there is no videos explaining like the way you did, thanks, and GOD BLESS YOU!!!
Its the upper pinion bearing
Kindly advice on what to with this problem?is it looseness that can be tightened or replacing whole rack?
rebuild or replace the rack
🤔🤔🧐🧐
My rack and pinion is bad the mechanics say when I look at it the boot is torn and it is leaking when I turn left it makes a noise when I turn right it makes a noise not too bad sometimes but at slow speeds and it does not Veer to the left and does not Veer to the right on the highway neither but it does have a little Slack
I read that and read sack
what symptoms did u have
Clunking
Did u had a symptom of steering wheel wobble or car pulling to one side? Thanks
Following
I've been having this same sound in my manual Nissan Tiida
Have you solved this issue? ANDREW
I have a mercedes w204 rear wheel drive....I charged all the arms...including inner and outer tie rods...even the front springs...I still have a steering wheel rumble on turns...after few weeks jacked car up held front wheel at 9 and 3 position wobbled it violently and I hear the same sound as this video...car booked tomarrow for a yoke bush replacement
What did you end up changing? My w204 steering is abit loose
@@webstermfusi2163 full steering rack
What kind of truck?
When I turn right it makes a loud noise what can that mean and my wheel steering is hard
Power steering fluid
Damn bro i couldnt figure out where that noise was coming from only had that noise while going over a bump or over 45mph it started to make that same sound i took everything apart after seeing this video and realized that its the same issue indeed
Thank you for your insight , pratically explaining the suspension issue !
What symptoms were you having?
Gave no phxcks to reply hahahaha
Looks like you wanting free info didn't work hahaha
Just have to tighten the steering yoke screw to stop the noise
How on a 09 Acadia driver side
@@CHB_98how the fuck do you expect people who don’t have your car to just know? 🤦
Does tightening the preload screw help eliminate this noise? Is it danger to drive with this noise?
need a 11$ plastic bushing....but the job🤬 better change all the rack if you remove it
I have the same problem in my car. I don't know what to do. Please help… can I fix my rack and pinion or do I need to put a new rack and pinion?
New one
How is it? Repaired or replaced?
Replaced
I work for a company that specialises in fixing all kinds of steering rack. What you are showing in your video is 1 of 2 things. 1) if the play is on the end of your rack that has the pinion then it may just be a case of adjusting the slipper pad to tighten the play. 2) if the play is on the opposite end to your pinion then the rack needs stripping down completely so that you can replace a plastic bush that keeps it tight.
So when I check from three and 9 o’clock I’m able to move the rack in-N-Out does that mean the rack is bad but the steering wheel moves it’s not a lot ??
I have the same problem in my car. The sound has given me a lot of problems. Could you give me your phone number to ask you some questions. you are an expert in zippers, please friend
So what is the cubism you work for that rebuilds steering racks?
How would you adjust that on a 09 Acadia ? On the driver side ?
