| FAQs | This symptom is classified as "morning sickness". This condition is caused by Teflon sealing rings on the spool valve wearing grooves in the aluminum housing of the rack and pinion resulting in an internal bypass of pressure. Once the housing warms up, the metal will expand and reduce the pressure loss. The rack and pinion must be replaced. |

| FAQ_Q1 | I replaced the rack and now the power steering pump is whining. It never did this before! What happened? |
| 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_Q2 | The steering wheel is not returning to center coming out of a turn. What could be causing this? |
| 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. |
| FAQ_Q3 | The replacement rack and pinion is installed and the steering wheel has too much play. Should I adjust the rack? |
| 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. |
| FAQ_Q4 | Are there any steps that should be done prior to alignment? |
| 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. |
