Our guide covers 11 model years for the GMC Sierra 1500 (2015–2025) but only 7 for the Acura ILX (2015–2022), so the GMC Sierra 1500 data reflects a broader range of generations.

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.
