Bad Rack & Pinion Symptoms Rack & Pinion Noise

[@internallyinteral]

Hey my friend - just a suggestion. When you show off a tool you should put a link in the description of it so people like me could buy ot 😊

[@JM-AUTO]

Thanks for the tip, you are absolutely right, next time I'll be more careful with this, I bought this one at autozone.

[@seth13reeves]

I believe mine is bad as well. Would you also hear a ticking noise when turning whike reversing? Sounds like a baseball card in a bike tire.

[@JM-AUTO]

not that is that common but it also does that noise too, not only clunking but some other strange noises when you have a bad rack and pinion.

[@markhunter6889]

thanks, your doing a great job. and I know you listen to comments to make it better..

[@JM-AUTO]

yes I do and thanks for this great comment

[@tonyarriaga2677]

hello can that be fixed or adjusted?????? or need to replace with new rack and pinion ?????? thank you

[@JM-AUTO]

in this case it was damaged and an adjustment would not help but some times it needs only adjustment

[@choddboi219]

Do you get the clunking when turning the steering wheel. I only get the noise you're doing when turning left and right at a stop sign or red light turning.

[@JM-AUTO]

it did it at any time left or right or some times going straight, I appreciate your time on the channel, thank you.

[@DevinWilliams-k1z]

Mine is only doing it going straight it’s killing me I’ve changed lower upper arms sway bar links still same sound

[@wonderwalls3565]

So you did not try to do the adjustment using the nut/screw and just suggested to replace the whole thing?

[@JM-AUTO]

correct, it was damaged, it was also leaking bad thread where the high pressure line is.

Can you have a bad rack with only the clunking noise 2014 grand jeep Cherokee overland

[@JM-AUTO]

you might, but it also could be any other part of the suspension

[@AllAboutEntertainment143]

How much does it cost to replace rack and pinion? And the labor?

[@JM-AUTO]

it will depend on where you get the steering rack either from Dealer or after market or online but labor about $400-500

[@ashleyrocha1028]

It depends on the car. It’s $1200 for my car. 😞

[@SpacedQuill]

Can a bad rack and pinion squeak when turning?

[@JM-AUTO]

Yes, a worn or damaged rack and pinion can definitely make a squeaking sound when turning, especially if the issue is related to low power steering fluid or worn-out seals and bushings within the rack and pinion assembly, causing friction during moving the steering wheel

I can't understand you

[@ahmedkamalalkamali6929]

Enough talking too much.. just tighten the rack adjuster nut that's all..
