03 SLE rack replacement question???
Posted: Sun Oct 18, 2009 7:15 am
I'm going to replace my rack and pinion today on my 03 SLE. Do I need any special tools? How long should this take? I NEED some input!! Thanks, Bob.
Not sure on the inner tie rods, but I think they may require a special tool. I do know that many parts stores rent out / loan out specialty tools like this. Check your local Auto Zone for that.
Line wrenches would come in handy for removing the power steering lines from the rack.
Everything else should be simple and straight forward with regular bolts holding down the rack itself as well as the joint between the rack and the steering column.
Let me know how this goes as I need to replace mine as well, it has excessive play....
