FLOYD Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 Hey folks, Has anyone had to do an R&R for a Rack and Pinion. I have not been able to find a how to do it in any of the Repair Manuals that I bought online. I was told that the engine needs to be lifted to get it out. Is that true? Anybody worked through this before? I appreciate any feed-back....trying to do this for my Mom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfurth Posted June 26, 2017 Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 I can't find information specific to the 2010 (or 2009). For 2011, it would seem that an engine removal is not necessary, but you do need to partially disconnect a few engine mounting bolts and the fore-aft crossmember. This is a pretty involved repair, and I wouldn't attempt it without explicit documentation and an extensive tool kit. Preferably one that includes a lift - a steering gear is heavy and you may need a second person to help maneuver it into place. That's difficult to do when the vehicle is less than a foot off the ground. jkeaton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
