To remove the rack and pinion, park the vehicle with the front wheels straight, loosen the front wheel lug nuts, raise the front, and support it securely on jackstands. Apply the parking brake and remove the wheels, followed by the engine under-cover. Place a drain pan under the rack and pinion, detach the power steering pressure and return lines, and cap the ends to prevent fluid loss and contamination, using a flare-nut wrench to avoid damaging the fittings. Mark the relationship of the intermediate shaft to the steering shaft U-joint and remove the pinch bolt, then separate the tie-rod ends from the steering knuckle arms. For 2009 and earlier models, remove the rack and pinion mounting fasteners, separate the intermediate shaft U-joint from the rack and pinion input shaft, and maneuver the rack and pinion down and out, checking the bushings for excessive wear or deterioration. For 2011 and later models, remove the subframe and detach the rack and pinion from it. Installation is the reverse of removal, ensuring to align the marks on the intermediate shaft U-joint and the rack and pinion input shaft, center the pinion if installing a new rack and pinion, tighten all fasteners to the specified torque, connect the power steering hoses, fill the reservoir with the recommended fluid, lower the vehicle, bleed the steering system, and have the alignment checked by a professional.
