Buying a used steering rack: what to check
- Confirm hydraulic vs electric power steering. They never interchange.
- Check the input shaft and tie-rod ends for play.
- Ask whether the rack was leak-tested; seals are the usual failure.
- Match the mounting bushing style. Subframe designs change mid-generation.
