04 Toyota 4Runner rebuilding rack and pinion

[@ligeriffic]

This was very helpful. Just rebuilt my steering rack instead of buying a knock-off or rebuild. Should be good for another 200k miles!

[@occamsrazor1285]

2:32 It is (depth). That's what adds resistance to the rack. You want a certain amount of resistance to your input, otherwise any little bump driving down the freeway will cause you to either have to put a lot of muscle into keeping it straight or the car will wonder all over the road.

Found your vid cause my rack is stuck. Wanted to make dang sure they actually get stuck. Thank you sir 98 sc300.

That power steering rack was made by Kiichiro Toyoda. The founder of Toyota motors.

[@rickhallett4029]

Thanks @gibson really appreciate it

[@Asian_Connection]

Great video, thank you so much. One note don't you have to lube the oring before you install the pipe back in? If you don't isn't there a chance it roll off.

[@GibsonGarage]

always lube it up 😉

[@jamesgeorge90]

Thanks your explanation is very clear

[@Asian_Connection]

work around is amazing

[@WallaceRoseVincent]

You should sell the speciality tools as a kit.

[@4phishn]

That "THING" you made, have you since discovered a tool or nut that works for that application? Nice invention.

[@podium804]

@Gibson garage speed shop What part of the rack could make a popping noise when going from lock to lock? My 04 v8 4runner has developed this noise. Lots of new parts LCA , UCA, New ball joints, inner and outer tie rods, a new OEM Intermediate steering shaft and a new Dobinsons lift. All less than 9 months old. Probably 8k street miles and a few moderate easy east coast trails I've checked torque on all hardware All I'm left with is the rack. I'm super curious of the failure point Thanks!!

[@GibsonGarage]

I guess the pinion could be skipping on the rack, but I've never heard of that. It's more likely mounting bolts for something or a bad ball joint

[@podium804]

@@GibsonGarage Thank you so much for the reply. I will double check everything. I really appreciate you getting back to me.

@@smokeandmirrors482 this is my experience... same deal. new parts all round and it was rack bushes... replaced with nolathene and all good

[@Redrocket2012]

I'd suggest rebuilding your sway bar. Bushings and sway bar ends

[@itumelengdoneyc5282]

nice video gibson i need to ask you how do u get some specification for assembly ,like the steering preload and how do you get you center of the steering?

[@GibsonGarage]

It's probably a torque value for the preload but I just put it back exactly where it was. The centering is easy just count the rotations and put the rack in the center and make sure your steering wheel is also centered before removal and make sure it doesn't move

[@itumelengdoneyc5282]

@@GibsonGarage i hear you the problem is i have a steering that the already strpped the problem is i have to put it together ,so i need specification please help and the side bolt that you mark and used how many threads left after tight it ??

[@GibsonGarage]

2.2 steering wheel straight and slide on the shaft and see if it spends the same amount of rotations to the left as it does the right if not adjust the shaft on the splines accordingly

[@4phishn]

Does the largest of the pinion shaft bearings not get greased?

[@oci464]

Castle nut for pre tensioner ! What size ?

[@michaelloney2715]

Hey man can you post up measurements of that 8 sided nut you made, like i know you said 32.2mm/ 1.27" but whats the rough ID of the hole in the center and whats the lenght of the flats on the out side of it?

[@ligeriffic]

The OD of the pinion shaft is 25mm. I made my tool out of a 1" ID PVC riser from the hardware store. It already had an octagonal shape on it so I just had to file the shape down to the 32.2mm dimension. The ID was 23.5mm so I had to enlarge that with my rotary tool. Took about an hour after I got back from the store.

[@engineprojects]

How did you remove the rod mine mine has a clip hidden out of reach🤔 it is an vw polo from 1995

[@GibsonGarage]

sorry couldnt tell you, I was able to get to all of my clips

[@GregariousAntithesis]

Wrap the spool value with an aluminum can then use hose clamps over night

[@craigharmon7738]

Didn’t see the rack removal linked at end of video. Did I miss it?

[@GibsonGarage]

No I did check out the Flying Four Runner playlist on my channel

[@magdielvillatoro7967]

where you work it looks like you do a good job

[@GibsonGarage]

Thanks but no thanks

[@chriskizziah5031]

The last kanji in toyota can be pronounced da. In Japanese it is common to change ta to da if it makes the word easier to say.

[@nordicpride9708]

Love rebuilding stuff, but with racks it’s so much easier for me to remove it, drop at the rack shop with my rebuild kit, then pick it up that afternoon. They have all the special tools to knock this out quick.

[@jaimesthomas9912]

What kind of grease did u use and great video thanks

[@GibsonGarage]

High temp chassis lube

[@Nessal83]

Where did you get the rebuild parts and how long do they last?

[@GibsonGarage]

They're available at AutoZone I don't know how long they typically last

[@Nessal83]
