FAQs | The rack and pinion does not return to center by itself. The geometry of the front suspension causes the wheels to return to center coming out of a turn. If the vehicle will not return to center, first, check the front end alignment, then, check for a restricted return line in the power steering system. If the return line is restricted or kinked, this could be blocking the flow of fluid back to the pump. |

FAQ_Q2 | The steering wheel is not returning to center coming out of a turn. What could be causing this? |
FAQ_Q4 | Are there any steps that should be done prior to alignment? |
FAA_A1 | The most likely cause of a power steering pump whine is air in the system. The steering system must be bled. This may take a few attempts depending on the design of the system. |
FAQ_Q1 | I replaced the rack and now the power steering pump is whining. It never did this before! What happened? |
FAA_A3 | No. The rack and pinion has been adjusted at the factory. No additional adjustment is necessary. Try isolating the rack to find out where the play exists. If you hold the inner tie rod and have someone turn the wheel, does the play disappear? If so, the problem is in the front-end; if not, remove the steering knuckle and lightly install vise grips on the sector shaft and check for play. If no play exists, check steering column or steering knuckle. |
FAA_A4 | Yes, the boot clamps must be loosened to set the toe adjustment when performing a front-end alignment. Failure to loosen the clamps will twist the boots during turning maneuvers causing cracks to form on boot. Once the boot is torn, road debris and water intrusion can damage the rack end seal. |
FAQ_Q3 | The replacement rack and pinion is installed and the steering wheel has too much play. Should I adjust the rack? |
FAA_A2 | The geometry of the front suspension is designed to return the steering wheel to center coming out of a turn. If the steering wheel is not returning to center on its own when coming out of a turn, check the front-end alignment settings and inspect for binding steering components. |
