It would be nice if your videos said what the parts actually are called. Says to replace bolts and seals but no name or information on the parts specifications.
What a great video. I have been watching several videos before attempting to replace the rack on my Chevy. This video describes everything you need to know before hand, including additional parts, tools and torque specs. Nothing worse than discovering you need another part not included in your purchase or not having the right tool in the middle of the job. Great work!
+David Alvey Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
thanks for the video, pretty straightforward
one thing i would avoid is taking off the plastic plugs BEFORE you mount the rack and pinion. they're there to keep rust and debris on the frame from falling into the holes and ending up in your hydraulic lines, ruining the pump or the rack and pinion
those should only come out right before you are ready to put the lines back in and no earlier
Wow, like magic at 3:55 and the PS hoses suddenly appeared brand new!
I noticed that too😁😁😁😁😁
DO NOT TAP THE DUCKBILL SEALS WITH A SOCKET! Or anything at all for that matter, search for the video on how to properly install the seals. They are very easy to damage, and are very finicky. It's also extremely easy to strip the little bolt that holds the two lines to the rack. The bolt is going into aluminum, and you need to make sure the lines are perfectly lined up and seated properly before cranking down on that tiny little bolt.
This is an east coast project I can see from the rust. I am from the west coast where the corrosion does not happen. From what I see, I am happy to be from a desert climate region where everything is easy to work on.
Can we get on of these for a 2004 Silverado please.
Thanks. I watched your video and changed my rack. Super Easy.
This is a great video. He noted that the send/return hose fitting seals are not included with the rack and pinion assembly. What part number are these fitting seals? I'm assuming using the old ones is not recommended. Thanks.
It’s crazy 1AAuto won’t respond on this matter… even tho they got the seals… or how about the 11mm bolt ?? Crazy. Even contacted them directly and they had no direction other then doing my own research. Well, no shi**, why do you think I’m contacting you 1AAuto
READ THIS BEFORE YOU DO THIS JOB:
There are a lot of people on here that are clueless. I just did this on a 2011 suburban 4WD.
First of, the Diff is not in the way at all, you do not have to take it off to get this done.
The steering pinion rack assembly shown here does not come with the gaskets. I called around and finally found what the part number for the gasket is - 26100863. It's one part number for both holes.
Now if you buy this rack assembly like I did on Amazon, and it is a genuine AC Delco remanufactured one, it already comes with the seals.
Last thing I want to mention, when you are connecting the steering column to the rack, take a close look at the end of the rack that goes into the column and another close look at the end of the column. They are not perfectly circle and only go one way.
If yours does not go in all the way but is already on partially, push in on the column from the hood, not from below. Don't yank the rubber like I did (I learned, mines now torn I got to buy a new steering rack).
That is all I have. Job is fairly simple. I actually replaced the rack and pinion, the pump, all hoses and the cooler. If you have questions feel free to post here
+Ron Xx Thanks for checking us out!
Im assuming this is the same for a 2007 Tahoe ?
I'm definitely new to the mechanic world - typically I do woodworking/home renovations. But I'm interested in doing some of my own maintenance on my truck...I'm a little confused, does this truck not have CV axels?
Lovely video
I am from Saudi 🇸🇦 arabia
Watching and leaning
Not will do myself but after watching ... meechanic can not dodge and mess with me
I love how when it gets challenging you'll cut out
Thanks guys for your awesome informative videos!!!
I love your videos please start selling on amazon i would buy from you if you sold on Amazon
+david sherrill We do sell through Amazon! www.amazon.com/stores/1AAuto/node/17729412011
Oh I couldn’t see the boot in the upper position it’s there excellent job🙏
Those steering lines got real shiny real fast lol
2 things to add.They don't show or state. But when turning the steering wheel to "bleed" the system it works best off the ground. Also to do a 4x4 u have to do alittle more wiggling around the front diff and remove the skid pan.
Skid plate off truck lifted onto big blocks should work as long as both front wheels are off the ground and can turn freely
Thanks for the tip✌✌✌🤛🤛🤛
Gracias!❤
excellent video everything straight forward,
Note: make sure the rack is centered, equal turns left and right before installing. If your doing this on a lifted truck mark your left and right tie rods ends. Their different, it will effect your turns.
Good job except for one thing, you never place the centerpiece of the hubcap face down after taking it off always face up to avoid scratching it up ✌️💯
M6x1x25 Multi-Purpose Bolt - GM (11561026) 8mm bolt
Just did my 09 suburban and I couldn't take off the 8mm bolt threw me 3 days off well I got a replacement bolt from A.Z and it was the same thread size just a 10m head... hope this helps someone
do you have a video for a 4 wheel drive ?
It looks like you installed new power steering lines as well. Was this just because of the overall condition of this vehicle, or is that something you would recommend doing regardless?
Also, I don’t see that part at 1aauto, are those available through your store?
+Scott Blubaugh The parts are available through our site. If you need any assistance with ordering you can call us at 888-844-3393.
Hi Guys, need some help from all of you.
I had replaced my Steering rack recently. Steps taken before installing it :
1) Removed the dust cover of the Rack shaft and centered the rack by turning the shaft to extreme left till lock and counting the number of turns to extreme right which was around 2.85. Hence turned back halfway approximately till about 1.42 and fixed the rack in that position into the subframe.
2)Before connecting the tie rods to the wheel knuckles, made sure that the wheels are straight ahead and equal number of visible threads were left on both the tie rods before connecting to the wheels, which would later be adjusted through wheel alignment.
3)All this while, the steering wheel is centered and locked to avoid damage to the clock spring.
4)Now the centered Rack is connected to the wheels through the tie rods and the steering wheel through the u joint.
5)Wheel alignment was performed and the result is Steering wheel was centering itself at 11’o’clock position on returnability. Thus, pulling the wheels along with the steering towards left and straight line tracking has become uncontrollable.
6)At this point, the turning radius from center to left lock is about an inch more than from the center to right lock. I opened the horn compartment on the steering to check if factory markings of the column were aligned with that of the steering wheel. Result being, they were absolutely aligned.
7)Then I moved the steering wheel one spline right. The result being, now I have equal turning radius from center to left and right lock.
8)Then, I again performed a wheel alignment with the steering wheel held in place straight ahead.
9)The result being, the steering wheel still is off- centre towards left at about 10° and still centers/returns at 11’o’clock position. Even if passed on a bump, the steering moves back to 11 ‘o’ clock.Car goes straight if steering held, between 11 & 12 o clock position. If steering is left loose, it again pulls to left and centers at 11 o clock. Hence, pulling the entire car towards left.
Now I suspect this. Please correct me
1) Steering Rack is still slightly off centre towards left like about 10° ?
(OR)
WHAT COULD IT BE ?
You ever get that figured out ?
Think u just needed An alignment ?
You can use a crows foot and torque wrench at 90 degrees for tie rods.
Can y'all do one of these for a 1st gen colorado?
I have a real quick question. Why in the world did a little baby 10-year-old vehicle need a steering rack replaced? Oh. It's GM.
I'm going to be doing one in my 23-year-old Lexus so I found this video helpful even if for a different vehicle. Thanks!
Theres a big difference in the way one treats an american truck and a foreign sedan....
How do u make sure there is no air in the lines when replacing the r&p?

I have a question I broke the rack and pinion gear mount on the passenger side can I just buy the mount?? Can you share a link would be more than happy to order it right away
Thank you great video
You guys at A1 auto make great videos and us diy'rs appreciate it
I’m wanting to do this on my 02 Silverado but I couldn’t find a video. Would it be the exact same process as this or does it differ
How do you know if a steering rack needs to be replaced? What are the symptoms?
I just need the silver clamps you see on either side of those pumps or whatever you call them. I don’t think I need the entire assembly. Does anyone know where I can find that clamp or strap? Whatever it’s called, greatly appreciated. Thank you
Not available as far as i know
I enjoyed the music, can you please tell me where to get this cd or is it on iTunes?
Hi guys just wanna say great job on all ur videos. I hav a 2001 Chevy Silverado 1500 standard cab 2wd 4.3. I need to do rack and pinion. Off and on leak from passenger side of r&p. Do u hav video of that yr? Or is it the same as this one?
+Dana Tyler Great question! Check out our library for more videos here: 1aau.to/m/video-library-c
Need this for 2011 Camaro!!
There's some so called mechanics that still don't believe that the clock spring can be damaged if you don't tie down that steering wheel before removing and replacing the rack and pinion. I learned that valuable lesson the hard way by dealing with Pep Boys. It broke while I was driving. I was making a righthand turn when the steering wheel spun out of control in my but my car kept straight.
You are either trolling or you're a crazy person. A failing clock spring will not cause the car's steering wheel to no longer control the steering of the wheel. It's for the electronics on the steering wheel. If Pep Boys jacked up your clock spring, then the first is you wouldn't be able to turn your country music lower in volume or set the cruise control.
If this is a true story however, then they didn't align the steering splined shaft into the shaft on the rack but you wouldn't have been able to even leave their lot like this. Your story is probably just made up anyway. XD
Is it me or did he put the boot back on or does that happen later?
guys gettin paid by the hour
Thank you so muchc ....this video help me a lot ....thank you again
Where do you get the seal at 19:50???I just ordered a new rack and didn't realize the seals do not come with it.
Would it be the same thing more or less for a 2007Gmc sierra classic?
Great info. Thanks you very much.
After replacement, the steering movement on the new rack is stiff, not smooth, how do you adjust the smoothness of the steering movement? once installed.
Were can I get those seals for the send and return lines?
Did you find the seal ?
Orieleys has them
I am looking for instructions for replacement of the rack and pinion for a 2011 Equinox LS AWD.
Had a question...is it the same for GMC 2013 sle 4 door 4x4
I would like to know as well. Seems diff is in the way?
2006 Chevy Express 3500... Pretty much the same, I'm assuming??
Okay I have a question. The I see the two pinion lines one of the line that goes to the rack bar mine just popped off but it’s not damaged can’t I just get that small piece welded back on cause that’s what it look like it’s been welded on. To keep me from replacing the whole assembly because the whole part is really in still good condition
I've heard if the steering wheel is crooked significantly, it is certainly a problem w/power steering rack (as far as I understand the problem can't be fixed then just by simply moving in and out Outer Tie Rods in corresponding directions). Mine is crooked ~45 degrees to the right, no steering fluid leeks observed (I saw some fluid inside of the boot ~ 8 months ago, when changed Inner TR (on driver side only, on passenger it was dry), but I think it is very small, since the fluid level doesn't change). I don't remember when that problem w/crooked wheel developed, I don't drive that car a lot, but I hit a limiting concrete bar which they conveniently locate at some parking lot 4-5 days ago, and noticed 45 degrees after that event. So what can happen to a steering rack, what can be wrong, if no leak observed? And if the steering wheel is crooked, do you straighten the steering wheel before replacing the steering rack (then the wheels on the ground will be not straight)?
You need to get it aligned
Question : My rack and pinion becomes "stiff" occasionally .... if I stop the engine, and re-start and drive, it's on again ......... then again, it becomes stiff intermittently. What could it be ?
I think on my 2009 Equinox it's an electrical part, not hydraulic.
Is it the same process with a 06 Silverado 2500Hd?
Both lines in the rack are leaking, do I need to replace the whole assembly
Does a chevy 2500 have rack and pinion or steering box thks
Can use get a tutorial for a 2016 chevy silverado
What was the complaint? Like why did we swing a whole rack?
Does the Vin code (T) silverado 2001 have rack and pinion?
I recently had my electric rack and pinion repaired, but now my steering feels extremely stiff. What should I do?
+Don Dada We wouldn't be able to diagnose an issue like that here, you may want to have a local mechanic take a look at it. Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
I have a drive on rack can i install it with wheels on?
I changed my control arms, forgot to keep steering wheel straight, took it to get aligned and they said my Rack and Pinion was bad, now I never had a problem til' I changed control arms, what are some symptoms for this that I can look for because I don't wanna spend a few thousands if it's not the problem.
I'm having the same issue. After I changed out my front end suspension and brakes, I went to get an alignment and they told me mine was bad, so bad that the steering wheel was way off-centered and tie rod adjustment were maxed out, but my wheels were straight as an arrow.
do you have a video showing 2004 dodge ram Replace Steering Rack & Pinion Assembly
+Geert Hesselberg We do not have a video for this repair right now, but we'll keep this request in mind for a future video! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
How far does it go down on the shaft does it have a stop or do you need to mark it
As far as it goes onto the shaft. Yes, it stops.
4x4 truck, is it harder to replace???
looks like your doing a 2wd? I think on 4wd you need remove, or at least lower the front differential? In addition to the steps you shared?
You would be wrong.
In the beginning he simply says 2wd
You do not need to drop the differential to remove the rack on a 4x4.
How much different is this from a 99 Silverado
+JoceyVDV We don't have a how-to video for your vehicle right now, but the basic steps in this video should be enough to do this task. Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
What’s metric size is the 8mm bolt
yo, I need those hose seals? Searching for them comes back with things that don't look like what you have in the video.
Orieleys auto parts have them. Just ordered them for same day pick up!
Hey Jeremy did you end up finding the hose seals?
Are your rack and pinions already centeted?
+Seymour Cake Ours should come centered. Thanks for the inquiry!
How much was the parts and labor charge?
Is it possible to get only the two small seals that go where the hydraulic hoses connect?
Did you find it ? I’m still looking
Advance auto part 3/8 cap seal part# 70018 $40
What are part numbers for the replacement lines?
Id love to do it myself but can I borrow your lift? lol
I did not see that you reused the old boot seal that was around the steering shaft attach point on the rack and pinion. Isn't that needed?
There are two small rubber seals on the lines only
What kind of torque wrench do have?
Can someone send me link to get the seals mine didn’t come with them need asap
Where do i get the 11mm bolt and the extra seals for the connections
Did you find the seals after all?
Looks like you changed the fuel lines too, why not show that too?
So no centering the rack??
Excelent video
+Jesus Lamadrid Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
What size of bolt is the one that holds the pressure line to the rack and pinion???please help
he said 11 mm
He said 8mm not 11mm
no flushing of the system before reconnecting lines? How do you know you wont have debris in the lines that could destroy the rack and pump?
+Johnny Knoxville It's a good idea to do a flush if the fluid is old and dirty
How do I get the seals, name please
Is this same process for 4x4 2008 ?
+Manuel Espinosa The associated vehicles (click the tab) are listed here: www.1aauto.com/how-to-replace-steering-rack-and-pinion-assembly-07-13-chevy-silverado/video/17105
Was it???
Yes just did it on mine
Is the Rack centered already ??
+Victor Pecina Thanks for watching! Yes the new steering rack should come centered.
Is this the same process for a 2013 Silverado?
+Omar Ramirez This will be the same process.
1A Auto Parts thank you
Does anyone know the part numbers for the hard lines or hydraulic transfer lines on the rack itself?? Mine has a crack in it and I'm desperate to find one.
Kenny Taylor same
Nevermind. I found the part numbers. Have to order from GM dealership. Part numbers are 19167837 for long line and 19167838 for short line. These are called GM Pipe kit and are the hard lines on top of the rack. They come with new o-rings but is waste of time bc more than likely the rack shaft where the lines install are wore out. Better off buying the bullet and installing a new rack and pinion.
what is the part # for the seals for a 2013 chevy silverado
+Philip Hernandez Thanks for checking us out! We do not carry the seals for your vehicle. Try searching on eBay Motors.

How can you do it this fast? It takes my shop 5 hours
This is an easy rack and pinion job compared to many others. This should be a three hour job max if you are in a good facility with good tools.
Why no cordless tools? I lend you mine.
New lines are recommended?
+Sam Squanch If the condition of them indicated they need to be replaced, absolutely.
The frames don’t look to be getting any paint from the factory .
At 18:33 how far down does it go on the shaft
As far as it goes onto the shaft. Yes, it stops.

You didn't use a torque stick when the car was lifted ??? Everything was good until you when to torque your wheel nuts. !!
Que locura la oxidacion que tiene esa camioneta.
I'm sorry man but this video would have been so much better if you had used an electric impact. It was literally like watching paint dry. Other than that excellent video. That poor truck spent too much time up North. Both of my Tahoe's are rust free. I have a 2004 Z71 and a 2012 PPV.
