New Rack & Pinion Assembly from 1AAuto.com 1aau.to/ib/1ASTG00009
This video shows you how to install a new TRQ power steering rack and pinion assembly on your 2002-2009 Chevrolet Trailblazer 4.2L. The rack and pinion assembly transforms the turning motion of your steering wheel to the push and pull motions that turn the front wheels of your vehicle, as well as adding the power assistance. If the steering rack on your vehicle is leaking, or damaged in some way, you might need to replace it entirely.
This repair was done on a 2007 Chevrolet Trailblazer LT 4.2L Sport Utility 4-Door 4WD Automatic and the process should be similar on the following vehicles:
2002 Chevrolet Trailblazer
2003 Chevrolet Trailblazer
2004 Chevrolet Trailblazer
2005 Chevrolet Trailblazer
2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer
2007 Chevrolet Trailblazer
2008 Chevrolet Trailblazer
2009 Chevrolet Trailblazer

My 2002 specs said lug nuts are 85 ft.-lb. Maybe it is different.

Do you not need to flush the power steering lines?
