Description

The Nissan Figaro suffers from a weak steering rack and over time, they tend to leak causing rack and power steering pump failure. The steering rack is one of the main components of the power steering system and is fed by high pressure hydraulic fluid to assist in turning the wheels to the left and to the right. It is directly connected to the vehicles front hubs and converts the input from your steering wheel, through the steering column and to the rack which is in turn connected to the vehicles front hubs. Without this hydraulic assist, the steering would be exceptionally heavy and difficult to drive.

As the steering rack ages, and through lack of regular maintenance, the steering rack can develop leaks from its internal seals which will be diagnosed by leaks from the main input pinion seal and/or leaks from either side of the steering rack itself. If the power steering fluid drops below a certain level, air can be introduced into the system causing further damage to the hydraulic system.

Symptoms of a failing steering rack can include:

  • Grinding/Whining noises from the power steering pump and steering rack
  • Vehicle hard to steer especially when stationary
  • A burning oil smell from under the vehicle
  • Dripping fluid under the vehicle from either side

Our Fully recondiotioned steering racks undergo a rigourous rebuild from the ground up. The steering rack is fully stripped and thoroughly washed, The main piston and rack is measured and checked to ensure that is is working completely straight and any damage is repaired. It is meticulously re-assembled with all new seals, painted for ultimate protection from the elements and bench tested to ensure that is passes all quality control checks. New track rod ends and steering boots are installed, ports sealed and only after all of these steps is it ready to be fitted to a vehicle.

Steering racks are sold on exchange. Please note: The control pipes on top of the unit are not included with the replacement rack so please remove all hoses prior to sending back your unit.
