  A: The first step when replacing the Rack And Pinion in a 3.8l engine requires removal of the intermediate Steering Shaft from the Rack And Pinion. Prior to installation place a drain pan underneath the vehicle then detach the Rack And Pinion's inlet and outlet hoses. Start by unfastening the outer tie rods from steering knuckles then remove the braces that support the front suspension. The next step involves removing the Rack And Pinion mounting nuts and bolts from the vehicle in order to take away the Rack And Pinion. Insert the Rack And Pinion into its designated place while mounting the bolts and nuts then torque them to 85 nm (63 ft. Lbs.). Begin installation by reconnecting the intermediate Steering Shaft to the Rack And Pinion and afterwards attaching front suspension support braces and outer tie rods to steering knuckles. The Rack And Pinion requires connection of inlet hose (2) and outlet hose (3). Tighten these hoses to both reach 28 nm (21 ft. Lbs.) torque. Lower the vehicle until it rests at a level position then bleed the power steering system while removing the drain pan from under the car.
