Question 2

How to replace the front Rack and Pinion steering gear (EPS) on Chevrolet Equinox?

Accepted Answer

Locking the Steering Column for damage prevention to the sir system becomes essential when first securing the Steering Wheel using a strap to stop wheel rotation. Once the Steering Wheel is secured with the strap maintain the vehicle in an elevated position before proceeding with wheel removal. The next step involves removing both outer tie rod to Steering Knuckle nuts before disposal and then doing without a pickle fork or wedge-type tool when freeing the ball stud to protect both the seal and bushing. The j 24319-b tool enables separation of tie rods from steering knuckles but the ball stud requires handling to stay stationary. A rotation of the intermediate Steering Shaft allows access to the intermediate shaft pinch bolt for removal until the intermediate to Rack And Pinion pinch bolt is removed and the intermediate shaft disconnects from the Rack And Pinion. Rack And Pinion replacement begins with removing Rack And Pinion to cradle mounting bolts then disconnecting stabilizer links from the stabilizer bar before extracting the Rack And Pinion through the vehicle's right side. Start with heat shield installation using proper gear clearance positioning of the stabilizer followed by right-side Rack And Pinion insertion which centers the bushings inside cradle supports. Start each Rack And Pinion bolt for cradles by hand then torque both bolts to 110 n.m (81 lb ft). Use a new pinch bolt to link the intermediate shaft to the Rack And Pinion while tightening it to 34 n.m (25 lb ft). The stabilizer bar requires the links connection while using a ball stud holder to avoid rotations during nut tightening. Secondly install a new nut between the tie rod and knuckle before winding it to a torque of 25 n.m (18 lb ft) and a 90-degree angle. After tire and wheel installation you should check front wheel alignment then perform alignments if any are needed before the vehicle reaches ground level.

Question 3

How to replace the front Rack and Pinion steering gear (EPS) on Chevrolet Malibu?

Accepted Answer

To replace the Rack And Pinion (EPS) begin by strapping the Steering Wheel to stop it from rotating because locking the Steering Column protects the sir system. Disengage the steering linkage outer tie rods from steering knuckles and separate the intermediate Steering Shaft from the Rack And Pinion only when the wheels face straight forward. First isolate the Rack And Pinion by eliminating the transmission rear mount bolt then remove all Rack And Pinion bolts together with their nuts and washers. The left front wheel opening requires Rack And Pinion access during removal procedures. Operate the new Rack And Pinion through the left front wheel opening by hand-tightening all bolts before completing the installation with a torque of 70 n.m (52 lb ft) followed by turning them an additional 90 degrees. First tighten the transmission rear mount bolt to 90 n.m (66 lb ft) before installing the intermediate Steering Shaft to the Rack And Pinion followed by connecting the steering linkage outer tie rods to the steering knuckles. To complete the procedure, perform steering front toe adjustments for proper alignment purposes.
