Good video. If you’re not handy and know your next move. You’ll be doing this for 2 days -lolo. I did this job. A real pain on your back. You’ll need the right tools for this. Not running around getting them as you need them. A tough one for sure.
Thank you so much for these two videos! Other videos and my manual just said disconnect the middle steering gear but to remove it was not explained or shown. Thank you for showing us!
First and foremost, Thank you very much for this video. I also really like how you made it easy for us viewers to understand your explanations. I'm about to do this job but only want to replace the bushings on the rack. I would really appreciate if you could help me in my following question. 1. Do you think it's possible to lift up the steering rack to access and replace the two rack bushings without disassembling the steering intermediate shaft? 2. Where can I find your materials? especially the material shown at 40 seconds. Super Thank You Very Much in Advance!
Glad it was helpful! unfortunately it is not possible to lift up the steering rack with out pulling out the intermediate shaft, you can try but it is almost for sure you are going to damage it. to use the software I pay monthly and I have to be registered but there are subscriptions with ACDelco for even one month, 3 moths and one year for specific cars or unlimited every thing will depend on how the person wants to, unlimited requires to be registered as an outo tech unless they have changed because I have been doing this for so many years, I believe you can have access it for free in certain libraries.
@@JM-AUTO I just watched the 2nd video of this repair. Even if it's just the reversed of everything, I was still able to learn new things. Your techniques are awesome and reminds me of how my Dad works. Too bad my Dad lives far away. Again, I have few more questions if you don't mind. 1. My Van makes a couple of ding sound and the traction off light comes on when I make a bit of a hard turn to the left at a speed of 35mph. My steering rack doesn’t leak and I believe it’s still in good shape. However the bushings on them are totally damaged. Do you think replacing the bushings fixes this problem? 2. How many hours did you do this job? As always, Big Thanks in advance. ^_^
@@IBO8Jaeger thanks for sharing, it might fix it unless the issue is someting else but definitely worn out bushings will cause problem to the steering rack since it is going to move to the sides and it is going to damage it, I did in about 5 hours.
@@JM-AUTO Hey Brother, I just want to say I just finished replacing the rack bushings and boy! what a night and day difference. I had this problem for about 2-3 years now. And it's your video that gave me the confidence and knowledge to tackle this repair. From the bottom of my heart, Thank You very much!
Te la comiste mi pana, felicidades , tremendo video, super claro y muy bien explicado, espero que mi sienna no me joda con esa vaina, pero si ese es el caso, ya tengo a un profesor que me explica, yo tengo el toyota service manual, pero no hay nada mejor que verlo en video. bueno socio muchas gracias desde Hawai'i Big Island, hasta aqui llegan tus videos. A big Mahalo for your video man, super crystal clear, explanation excellent as well, did you install after market? is still working fine? Aloha and good luck.
I've been told I need an entirely new rack and pinion steering on my 2008 Sienna for the past 8 years because it's "leaking." Well, I have zero drips on the driveway and I barely add a few ounces of fluid every 3 years or so. Latest estimate and "urgent" repair quote was for $1,307. Zero steering issues all those years. Get a second opinion is my best advice.
Our 2005 has been leaking since 2009 (as you describe exactly...hardly fluid loss, damp no drips etc). Just now starting to have major issues that I'm researching.
@@JM-AUTO thank you for the information sir. I had one more question if possible. In your experience, i have a rack n pinion on my 04 sienna awd, that has a leaking driverside seal, nowhere else on the racknpinion is leaking, and power steering pump that is wet with power steering fluid . the van only loses fluid when the car is in motion only. When it is parked or idling, no matter if you are constantly turning the wheel, the fluid will not leak out if in park at all. There are no spots on the pavement of the powersteering fluid anywhere. However. If i take the car for a drive, there is barely any fluid in the resavoir. The pump is noisy & there is no problem or change with the steering feel because there is still some fluid in the resavoir. I take the van around the block and it will go from the middle of cold to a half inch under the cold line. Based on your experience do you think that leaking is coming from the pump while under the load in drive?
@@ro6721 best way to find the leak, clean it with any spray cleaner all the mess any where I use started fluid when engine is off then get the engine to run as usually anitle bit n park it again n see the leaks again n you will see where the leak is coming from.
I’m about to pull the rack in my 2008 sienna to replace the bushings. Who makes those wobble sockets you are using? Also what is the tool you show to the camera at 7:40? I don’t have one of those.
@@JM-AUTOthanks. I’m taking it out now, a couple notes. The very first sway bar link bolt didn’t want to come loose. I ended up using 6mm Allen to hold the bearing and using 17mm box end to twist, after lots of brake cleaner and pb blaster. Also 2008 I guess is a different engine. I can’t find any way to get at the sway bar bushings from up top, and oil fill is in a different location than the video. Accessible from below. Not easy though!

Great job! thanks for the truthful comment
I’m on my second day doing a 2002 Sienna! Hope I finish it today. Seems ridiculous how little room is available to work with. Ahh well 🤷🏻
Thank you so much for these two videos! Other videos and my manual just said disconnect the middle steering gear but to remove it was not explained or shown. Thank you for showing us!
Glad it helped! and thanks for your support
Great video, torque/parts/fluid specs, and explanations while doing the work. Very helpful - Thank you!
Glad you liked it! this also is a great comment I really appreciate it very much.

yes you should look for another opinion since you have not had a single problem in such a long time since you were told about it.
Our 2005 has been leaking since 2009 (as you describe exactly...hardly fluid loss, damp no drips etc). Just now starting to have major issues that I'm researching.
Fantastic information… wealth of information… thank you
Glad it was helpful! and thanks for taking the time to watch this video.
Great video.very detailed. Could the sway bar be removed completely to get the rack and pinion out and installed easier for one person?
sway bar is not on the way once is unbolted and thanks for sharing.

Good idea. I ll keep you posted of the outcome
@@ro6721 sure thanks for sharing
Hi JM. Thanks a lot for this. Have you posted a part 2 that shows how to install the new one?
hi and thanks for watching, yes this is the link here: th-cam.com/video/OXFU09jXAFY/w-d-xo.html
Thank you@@JM-AUTO !!
@@JM-AUTOOUTSTANDING! Thank you for the link!
@@jackjones9460 thank you
Good work. How was the analysis that pointed out that this part was bad? Thanks
steering rack was clunking it was all loose from the interior, I have other video for diagnosing the problem, thanks for sharing.
Thank you, great video.
thank you.
I’m about to pull the rack in my 2008 sienna to replace the bushings. Who makes those wobble sockets you are using? Also what is the tool you show to the camera at 7:40? I don’t have one of those.
hi, thanks for the visit, the wobble and flare nut wrench you can find them at harborfright tools unless you want a different brand, also online.
@@JM-AUTOthanks. I’m taking it out now, a couple notes.
The very first sway bar link bolt didn’t want to come loose. I ended up using 6mm Allen to hold the bearing and using 17mm box end to twist, after lots of brake cleaner and pb blaster.
Also 2008 I guess is a different engine. I can’t find any way to get at the sway bar bushings from up top, and oil fill is in a different location than the video. Accessible from below. Not easy though!
What rack and pinion did you use for this?
I have a 2005 Toyota Sienna and I'm not sure which brand to go with
sorry but The owner bought it about 4 months before doing the job and the rack did not have box any more, sorry fo the inconvenience.
Very helpful video thank you.
Glad it was helpful! thank you.
3:35 If your sway bar linkage bolt is seized, you're in for some additional fun.
usually that happens a lot, what I do is I cut the bolt with a grinder, thaks for sharing
how much you charging for the job?i have 2007,im in CT,thanks
about $600 and thanks for sharing
Is there an adjustment screw for the rack?
hi, yes it has the preload plug there to adjust it especially if you have too much play in the steering wheel. thanks for the time on this channel.
Great video..
Hello dear friend , where do you get those spacification , thank you for your response 🫵 your video 🫶🙏
I pay to have access to ALLDATA, thanks for sharing
Is this connect to the Inner CV boot ?

hi, im in Long Island, most of the time I do it by job.
Where in LI? Might travel from CT. How much would you charge for this work?
My steering in my highlander 07 is being so rough idk what happend but I’m going to sell it because I want something different
thanks for your time on the channel and watching this video I appreciate it very much.
Great video but you can’t put installation in title and say there’s a part two “installation”
I agree with you thanks
sr that I have to disconnect to change only the sprocket mounting bushings. thank you
