To remove the rack and pinion, start by disconnecting the cable from the negative battery terminal. Then, loosen the front wheel lug nuts, raise the front of the vehicle, and support it securely on jackstands. Remove both front wheels. Next, remove the power steering fluid from the power steering reservoir. This can be done with a suction gun or by draining the fluid into a container. On four-cylinder models, remove the rear transaxle mount-to-transaxle bolt. On 3.5L and 3.9L V6 models, loosen the through-bolt on the transaxle mount near the rack and pinion. Disconnect the electrical connector and wiring harness from the downstream oxygen sensor. Remove the bolts securing the transaxle mount to the transaxle and the transaxle bracket-to-subframe nuts. Remove the heat shield from the rack and pinion on 3.6L models. Remove the long transaxle brace and the through-bolt in the rear transaxle mount. Remove the two transaxle mount bolts and the three transaxle mount bracket bolts from the rear of the subframe. Mark the relationship of the intermediate shaft Li-joint to the rack and pinion input shaft and remove the Li-joint pinch bolt and detach the Li-joint. Detach the tie-rod ends from the steering knuckles. Place a drain pan under the rack and pinion and detach the power steering pressure and return lines. Remove the retainer securing the power steering lines to the right side of the subframe. Finally, remove the rack and pinion mounting fasteners and remove the rack and pinion through the left wheel opening.
