How do you remove the steering gear assembly?

To remove the rack and pinion assembly, start by disconnecting the cable from the negative terminal of the battery. Then, park the vehicle with the front wheels pointing straight ahead and loosen the front wheel lug nuts. Raise the front of the vehicle and support it securely on jackstands, and remove the wheels. Mark the relationship of the intermediate shaft to the steering shaft U-joint and remove the pinch bolt. Separate the tie-rod ends from the steering knuckles and detach the links from the ends of the stabilizer bar. Remove the heat shield fasteners and heat shield. On certain models, remove the catalytic converter and front exhaust pipe, or the front "Y" exhaust pipe. Remove the rear transmission mount and, on AWD models, disconnect the driveshaft. On 2.4L models, disconnect the electrical connectors to the electronic power assist motor. On hydraulically assisted power steering gears, detach the pressure and return lines from the steering gear and the bracket that secures them. Remove the transmission mount mounting fasteners and move the mount aside. Remove the rack and pinion mounting bolts. On later models, partially loosen and lower the subframe to allow for the removal clearance of the electronic power assist motor. Finally, separate the intermediate shaft U-joint from the rack and pinion input shaft and remove the rack and pinion assembly out the right side of the vehicle (models with electric power steering) or the left side (models with hydraulic power steering). To install the rack and pinion assembly, raise it into position and connect the intermediate shaft U-joint to the steering input shaft, aligning the marks. Tighten the pinch bolt and install the rack and pinion mounting bolts. Connect the tie-rod ends to the steering knuckle arms. The remainder of the installation is the reverse of removal, making sure to tighten all fasteners to the torque specifications. Finally, have the wheel alignment checked and adjusted if necessary.

GMC Terrain Rack And Pinion

The Rack And Pinion in GMC Terrain cars is an essential mechanism which brings the changes of the angle of rotational motion of the steering wheel to the lateral motion of front wheels. This steering mechanism is called as rack and pinion in which a pinion is connected to the steering column and a rack is placed in a metallic tube. When the steering wheel is twist, the pinion gear starts to turn the rack in a quite accurate method in order to control the direction of the vehicle. GMC Terrain models mainly employs power assisted rack and pinion steering system, which aids the ease of steering by the use of power being hydraulic or electricity. Previously, there were messages made for manual rack and pinion systems, but the contemporary automotive population, to which the Terrain belongs, employ hydraulic systems that engage pressurized fluid to positive directing. The modifications to the rack and pinion geometry could have straight and helical gears; however, the straight gears are more efficient and produce lesser heat. In general, Rack And Pinion plays an important role in handling of the car and passenger comfort in the GMC Terrain automobiles.

Each OEM GMC Terrain Rack And Pinion we offer is competitively priced and comes with the assurance of the manufacturer's warranty for the part. Furthermore, we guarantee the speedy delivery of your orders right to your doorstep. Our hassle-free return policy is also in place for your peace of mind.
