Buyer's checklist
What to check before buying a used steering rack
- Check for power steering fluid leaks at the input shaft seal and at both inner tie rod boots.
- Confirm whether it's hydraulic or electric power steering — they're completely different units.
- Look for a bent housing or damaged mounting ears from collision damage.
- Ask whether inner tie rods are included. Replacing them separately adds labor and cost.
