I have seen other vids and he looks like he did much more work than he had to. Thanks for the vid anyway. that is one long way of doing it. I dont have a lift and some vids show a couple guys doing on stands but it is still much more time than I want to spend fiddling with it for the first and probably only time. Unless I screw up that is.
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?
That's going to be your wheel bearing more than likely. Inner ball joints wear out prematurely due to leaking rack and pinion inside tierod boot. Will cause pop, creaking, and clunking sound that you can't mimic unless you can move just that joint.
Hell I was quoted $1700 with my own rack I got out of a crashed 2010 accord coupe with only 89,000 miles on it from LKQ online as of this post it’s still in the shipping box lol 😳😳😳😳
My mechanic quoted me $1398. If I had access to tools and a lift, I think I'd try to do it myself, too! I definitely would want someone with more experience than me overseeing me, though, to be sure I was doing it right since I've never done it before.
Not sure, shouldn't load up like that. Have you filled the fluid reservoir and moved the steering wheel from lock to lock a few times. Could be an air lock?
@@anarasii I wish! I just did it to my 08 Accord and it was $986 dollars since you have to get an alignment after this. I am about to do it to my 06 Avalon and is $1,100 with parts and labors.

@@villafontananorte what sort of mechanic did you use? I have a friend at just tires that says they can do it for $900. However, I’m wondering if I should have a certified Honda mechanic do this job. Looks like they’ll be charging $1200-$1500 if I’m lucky
It took me 9hrs to do. In assuming a pro can knock it out in half of that. So if you say about $90 hr as their is some cheaper labor out you’re looking about $400 give or take some. Thats not including parts of course.
@@tonydization . I think its more like $1,000 for parts and labor. But I would still put on a new part. The new part cost $700+ bucks and labor is another $300+.
@@MrSupernova111 No mate, a new steering rack in the UK is £1800 for an OEM rack or about $2500. Plus labour on top of that and the repair will cost more than the worth of the car. Anyhow I've had my second hand rack in for a couple of years now and it cost $150 so the decision was the right one at the time. Hey if I could've had it repaired at the prices you mentioned I would've done it.
@Adam B That's good to know, obviously the U.S market is large enough that Honda are happy enough for their parts to be made under licence but I doubt they would be allowed to export them even if they wanted to.

what vid did you watch im doing a 2008 honda right now would love some suggestions, thanks
Thanks for the video, I wasn't sure if it was complicated, now I'm sure it's very complicated.
🤣😂😂🙏🙏🙏
Me 2 sheesh reason my replacement is still in the box lol 😂
😅😅
Thank you very much for the information, I was not sure I could hold the engine up and remove the cradle.
🙏🙏
That looks like an insane amount of work. I wish that you didn't zoom in so much so we can get a better sense of placement and direction of the parts.
Yea horrible camera work makes this video pretty pointless
i did this rack probably one of the hardest ive done lol
Egnine hoist and 2 jacks with jack stands, took forever. If you got 2011 or upgraded accords, the engine mounts are different in rear.
Nice video 👍✌✌✌✌✌
Good Information
Looks easy on video but I’m doing two rn every bit of the 5.4 hours it claims
What kind of rack to buy? Is those remanufactured aftermarket worth it or you have to buy oem ?
A/f are shitty so go with reman or brand new. A/f will will fail and it waste of money.
Nice video.
Before removing the cradle, did you use some kind of engine/transmission support at the top?
I was saying the same thing
had to off supported it somehow
Does a bad rack and pinion cause vibrations when under load or accelerating
No , Axles ( CV joint) do . Only under acceleration.

You can remove it easily without dropping the entire subframe.
Share how thanks
My son has this issue on his 08 accord. The mechanic quoted $1400 to repair with labor. Thinking about doing it myself.
Smart man if you do it yourself.

After replacing the rack and pinion assembly, the steering got tight and stiff. What would be the problem?

It can be done without removing subframe but it is not an easy job
What would be the cost for a Mechanic to do this?
Azeem Hosein 500 to $600 part and labor

Howuch you think labor will be for this work
200 to 400$
@@anarasii thanks I went to a place buddy told me 1700 lol
@@anarasii I found someone for 200
👌👍👍
You can also just sneak out the R&P with a bit of clever thinking and avoid removing the exhaust and all that stuff lol
i thought once u disconnect from tie rods. maybe u can just slide it out the side of wheel well 😏
Yep, no need to remove subframe but it's a pita job.

because a new Honda unit costs about $3000
