To remove the rack and pinion, park the vehicle with the front wheels straight, loosen the front wheel lug nuts, raise the front, and support it securely on jackstands. Apply the parking brake and remove the wheels, along with the engine under-covers if applicable. Place a drain pan under the rack and pinion, detach the power steering pressure and return lines, capping the ends to prevent fluid loss and contamination, using a flare-nut wrench to avoid damaging the fittings. Mark the relationship of the intermediate shaft to the steering shaft U-joint and remove the pinch bolt. Separate the tie-rod ends from the steering knuckle arms, noting that for 2010 and later models, the subframe must be completely removed to access the rack and pinion. Remove the rack and pinion mounting bolts, then separate the intermediate shaft U-joint from the rack and pinion input shaft and maneuver the rack and pinion down and out from the subframe. Check the rack and pinion mounting grommets for excessive wear or deterioration, replacing them if necessary. For installation, raise the rack and pinion into position, connect the intermediate shaft U-joint to the steering input shaft while aligning the marks, and if installing a new rack and pinion, center the pinion by counting the turns lock to lock. Install and tighten the mounting bolts and nuts to the specified torque, connect the tie-rod ends to the steering knuckle arms, and tighten them. Install the steering shaft U-joint pinch bolt in the passenger cab and ensure the alignment marks match if the intermediate shaft was separated. Connect the power steering pressure and return hoses to the rack and pinion, fill the power steering pump reservoir with the recommended fluid, and reattach the bracket to the top of the rack and pinion assembly. Lower the vehicle and bleed the steering system, then have the alignment checked by a dealer service department or an alignment shop.
