      Good luck brother! The only thing I didn't include in the video was the punch mark on the big nut that holds onto the steering rack. Drill it out. It grips onto the thread.

    Great video very thorough. I am thinking of doing this to a junkyard rack I bought to replace my worn one currently in my car. The issue I am having seems to be on both racks but on the shaft or rod (not sure all the terminology) that has threads on both sides for each inner tie rod when they are being tightened or looseneds the rod in the rock itself rotates slightly with it.. maybe about a 1/4" or less. It takes a great deal of force to do this but I am not sure if this can shift more easily when the vehicle is on the ground. Or is this even a big concern? Ultimately I am trying to figure out why the car is unstable at high speeds and seems to have a lot of steering play going over bumpy roads. Feels as if the wheels are kind of wandering a very small amount. Most of the suspension components around the rack are all new such as control arms, swaybar links, shock absorber etc. The rack is probably the only thing unchanged in the front end that has bearings and the sway bar itself.

    • @240Tony
      @240Tony  หลายเดือนก่อน

      I don't think anything from your tie rod to rack should ever rotate. It should only be side to side motion. That's very dangerous. I'd look into it if I ever you.

    After viewing this video a few times, utilising the information provided, I was able to successfully change the leaking seals in the valve pinion body and the steering rack of my Nissan XTrail T30. After installation of the new seals, there are no leaks and the rack and pinion works like new. I therefore reiterate my comments made 3 weeks ago, that the the content and quality of this video is exceptional. I therefore recommend watching this video to anyone wishing to undertake a steering rack rebuild.

    Thanks, I am rebuilding my 05 Altima rack. Didn’t know you had to protect the two sides seals with electrical tape. 😮 I just put mines in and they leaked on both ends 😅. But I’ll try again. With this method. And hopefully this time I won’t leak. Did yours leaked when you tried your rack?

    • @240Tony
      @240Tony  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Mine is good. You don't want to damage the seal, the slightly cut on the seal on the inside or outside will allow fluid to leak out during high pressure.

    Hey I’m doing my rebuild now and using your video as reference I have 2 little o-rings left they’re both the same size do you know where they go? (12:16 they’re next to the 4 blue Teflon seals)

    So I just tore apart one of my ps racks and the shaft with the teeth on it is slightly bent. Tried looking up what others have done and haven't found much, would you suggest continuing the rebuild or just buying all new rack?

    • @240Tony
      @240Tony  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      If it's bent, I don't think it's good anymore. You need a solid straight shift to slide smoothly. There's a seal in there that's centered. It's not made to move with a bend shaft.

    What was the reason for this repair? What was it doing that you had to rebuild it?

    • @240Tony
      @240Tony  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      They tend to leak at the seals over time. This rack is well over 30 years old. I figured I'd rebuild it while I'm doing my car

    Why did you make a hole with a drill on the side that has the thread?

    • @240Tony
      @240Tony  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I used a punch and punch it. This pushes the metal down so that the end cap doesn't ever turn back out.

    • @acetech9237
      @acetech9237 ปีที่แล้ว

      As Tony said it prevents it backing out. If you applied the force to remove it, say to do this procedure again, as long as you don't go overkill like he didn't, the tube should easily reform without damaged to the tube.

    • @acetech9237

      Look at the locknut for a CV axle. You hammer an indention into the axle thread but when you remove it down the road to replace the axle or other parts the nut reforms and doesn't damage the threads at all. It's best to always replace the axle nut but I've seen them reused and re-punched with no damage to the axle or nut.
