A 15 year old video repair and it is still very handy. Thanks Jonny for putting in here Jonny.
You're welcome, lol it's not that old but 1 of my 1st videos I shot on an old digital camera before I got a Gopro 🤣👍
@@JonnyDIY they just never go old on their usefulness. do you still have the rav? I have the same issue now with my rav 99 and still figuring out if I go diy or get a mech. not a cheap fix here.
@@rouge0449 sadly sold a couple years back, may be worth it to just replace the whole rack while you've got it all apart. Or you can just do as I did after I pinpointed it was that 1 seal that was leaking
@@JonnyDIY thanks jonny. stay safe.
When replacing the large seal use a socket large enough to fit over the the yoke and hit it with rubber or dead blow hammer. This will aid in keeping the seal from being installed improperly resulting in the seal leaking.
When removing the seal use a curved pick. Drilling and using a screw can result in damaging the rack. In a senior master technician with 35 years of professional automotive experience.
Thank you for sharing that helpful information, should come in handy for me and others who read this 👍
Good video! No BS, just straight forward information! Much appreciated.
Youre welcome! thank you for the nice comment! :)
*Power Steering lines can be accessed by removing Driver Side Wheel & Inner wheel well Fender*
Nicely presented Jonny, and thanks for the info.
Thank Ray! And you're welcome 👍🏻
Thanks! This is what I really need on my Vios 06
Good stuff helped me out
Awesome glad the vid helped you 😀👍🏻
You can access power steering lines by removing Driver side wheel and inner fender
Thanks, replacing the same seal on my 02 accord
You're welcome. Awesome, good luck with the project
Great video...wish I could do it myself.....Had a question. Have 03 mazda 2.0 protoge....According to the shop the rack and pinion is leaking...1. its leaking from where? and its leaking of what ? Should I e able to see oil ,grease or any kind of substance when looking at the boots? Thank you very much.
Yes if it's leaking a lot you will see power steering fluid on the floor you can check what your power steering fluid level is under hood in reservoir and that will tell you how much you've been leaking if it's not a ton of fluid I wouldn't worry about it and just keep it topped off but if it's leaking a ton you will need to have the leak addressed and a lot of times it involves replacing the whole rack and pinion. Unless it was leaking from input seal like mine, but its the same labor price either way.
Thanks Jonny for the video, the rack and pinion on my 1987 Toyota supra leaks from the driver side inner rod, the boot is usually get filled with oil, question is can the seal be replaced, or should I replace the whole thing. thanks
+transformer889 Thanks for watching & commenting. I wouldn't bother trying to replace the seal if it's one of the inner seals like you're describing. It's too much work to go through and then have it leak again or have another leak start up since it's probably at the end of its life. A new rack isn't too bad of a price, but a heads up, most places will want you to give them your old one for a Core exchange.
thanks....
Youre welcome. Thanks for watching & commenting, glad this helped
changing tie rods, baffle full of red oil. vehicle is 15 yrs old 165k. will this diy be sufficient or should i replace unit. thanks
if you think it's leaking from that pinion seal Id give replacing the seal a try. If its leaking from the seals on the sides Id just replace the whole unit. Good Luck!
So there were only be a leak on the driver side if that's still on the driver side is broken
Yes, check to make sure yours isn't leaking from one of the ends of the rack. Then you'd just need to replace the rack
on this rav4 do you have any diagrams of where the vacuum lines went
There should be a diagram of the vacuum lines on the underside of the hood. May be covered in soot or grease
Do you have to remove engine to replace rack?
Nope I just happened to have it apart at same time. Just jack up front end and remove the wheels. Thats pretty much all you have to remove to get to it 👍🏻
Can you replace Seal in the rack without removing the rack from the car? I have leaking seal, I removed the Inner Tie Rod boot on the driver side, and there was some liquid inside. I'm afraid the removing of the rack will be too complicated procedure for me. I saw some films, where they replace the seal on the car, but maybe it is only for certain vehicles. Also sometimes you can read statements, that when you replace the Inner TR, some precautions should be taken not to damage the rack and pinion. But everyone on youtube just replace it without those precautions. Maybe it is only for certain cars? Can you give your opinion on this matter? I think maybe I damaged the seal on the driver side, when I replaced the Inner TR on the passenger side (with no precautions, since I don't know what they are).
Thank you for the great film.
You're welcome. Yes most people just replace the whole rack if you have major leaks from the ends, its just not worth trying to rebuild. I got lucky this one just needed seal. Its much easier to work on with it out, Id take it out and see what problem is, then if needed replace whole rack. Not too much more work
@@JonnyDIY I see, thank you for your replay. Yesterday I removed the Inner TR (on the driver side), observed and cleaned the end of the rack again, didn't see any leaks. So I assume they are small, and I can go for a while just by adding Lucas "Steering Fluid Leeks stop". There is some small leak obviously, bcs how that fluid could accumulate in the boot, but I'll do it later. Now the car (2003 Chevrolet Cavalier) needs to go for Inspection, so I'll just install a new Inner & Outer TRs, brakes and that's it. In general what looks scary to me about that rack extraction, that you need to straighten the wheel (though I have that tool in the set, you know you can press the brake pedal tool and to keep the wheel in the certain position tool), that is minor of course, but then you disable the air bag, so primarily I'm nervous about that air bag, if I mess up and that bag will pop up when you are driving. Also that particular model has very tight and limited space on suspension, it has a subframe which you need to
drop to remove the Steering Rack.But all that is for the future, I'll do some more research on that question. Thank you kindly again, appreciate a great deal.
@@olenaerhardt7725 you're welcome, glad I could help. Yes Lucas should help slow or stop the leak if its really small leak 👍
@@JonnyDIY I bought that car (2003 Chevy Cavalier) new and nothing was done on
the Inner TRs, so the leak is there, but it is so small that can accumulate only in several years, I assume. Shouldn't be neglected of course, I'll take care about it later. For right now I'll use Lucas Steering Fluid Stop Leak to be on the safe side. Your film and comments are very helpful, appreciate it a great deal.
I am changing out the inner / & outer tie rod when I pulled the boot off the passenger side a small amount oil came out is that anything I should be concern about?
It shouldnt be leaking any fluid into your boots. If you havent noticed a leak on floor, it may just be a super tiny leak. I'd just keep an eye on it
does it have a motor in the engine bay? i dont see one. is it easier to work from above instead of under?
+Geo Von Lengerke I had the cylinder head off the engine at the time I replaced the seal. To do this job it involves some over from engine bay but most on sides of wheel wells
can the seal be done like that on a 2002 Cadillac DeVille
Yes if thats the problem, if you can pin point where its leaking check your repair manual and see the breakdown of the seals/parts on the rack and pinion you think are faulty. Its often best to replace the whole rack and pinion.
How long can I ride on a bad rack and pinion? Been doing it for 5 years 100k plus lol I mean I'm not loosing power steering fluid. It drives and steers fine even alignment on point. I do hear very minor noise when parking or backing up( you wont hear unless you really listen ) etc which got little worse over years also boot is torn I got about 255k on my camry don't want to put money into it besides that car good mechanical condition any advice? I wanna make this car last without doing unnecessary work $$ save money
If it drives straight and steers fine and you keep fluids topped off it should be fine. I would make sure that you keep the inside of that torn boot greased up and maybe tape it, if not replace it. The noise your could be hearing when parking or backing up could be your cv axle. Id just keep on driving it and keep up on oil changes and make sure you dont overheat it.
Keep grease inside the boot and somehow try to repair it, best advice on this one...
What caûse the rack and pinion to leak
Mine was just from old age and mileage 220k miles. Was the input shaft seal that went bad
hi man ei is this good for a 99 4runner
Yeah itll be the same process if you figure its leaking from that input shaft seal
thanks man yes i replace the hole unit from junkyard but steal leaking from same ruber peace above the same you point tankyou very much by the way how i ask for that seal at autozone?
I think I ordered an OEM one online but Autozone should have them. Just tell them them year/make of car and that you need a New "Rack & Pinion Input Shaft Seal." Take out the old one and bring it in so you make sure they give you the right size
nice tanks for your help man
My workbench is the front lawn.
LOL! hahah I know, I don't have a garage at this house. I need to build a workbench with some wheels on it though! :)
No garage?? Oh myy!
what are the dimensions of the seal??
Not sure on dimensions but I did list part number in description box
lol ur plate said cal state northridge with ca plates, r u in northidge ca?
Where my gf graduated college. Ive lived all over california northern and southern 🤙🏼
@@JonnyDIY lol i grew up across the street haha
@@JonnyDIY also is this usually the only seal that leaks on these ravs? what about the side seals behind the inner tie rods
Both are common, if your rack is leaking from the inner seals, best bet is to just remove entire rack and buy a new one (remanufactured). They're not too expensive, you just turn in your old one when you buy the new one
Hello
Thanks for the great video, do you think its working for toyota prado 2000 as well?
Yes I took a look at the Rack & Pinion from a Prado, looks similar. If you believe its leaking from that seal, Id give it a try. I would take a look at the seal from the wheel well. You can usually see if its leaking from there
Why bother posting a video that cant help anyone with the motor in.
Taking motor out not necessary for this fix. Just remove wheels, & inner plastic fenders.
OR THE WHOLE FRONT SUSPENSION .
I'd done this before and trust me its not that spacious like what we seen here..at least for a fully attached motor and sus (like ot normaly should be). And removing the whole inner fender is very risky as it was very new which about 20yrs old plastics with tiny pins and trust me they do broke or maybe crack on certain parts..
Are you drunk?
Nope 🤙
