• Q: How to Replace the Front Rack and Pinion on 2005 GMC Envoy?

  A: The replacement of Rack And Pinion begins with vehicle lifting while using proper support and positioning a drain pan below. First remove tires and wheels from the vehicle and afterward remove outer tie rods retaining nuts. You need the steering linkage and tie rod puller (J24319-B) to separate the outer tie rods from their Steering Knuckle attachment points. Start by taking out the steering rack crossmember then disconnect the lower intermediate shaft from the Rack And Pinion. The Rack And Pinion's hose assembly can be detached when we remove its retaining bolt alongside the assembly itself. Install rack support and remove all mounting bolts before securing the rack out of the vehicle. Finally put the Rack And Pinion in place then install the outer tie rods. The Rack And Pinion mounting bolts need tightening to 110 nm (81 ft. Lbs.). Slowly attach the Rack And Pinion hose assembly to the rack by screwing in the retaining bolt until it reaches 12 nm (106 inch lbs.) torque. The Rack And Pinion receives the lower intermediate shaft and the steering rack crossmember gets reinstalled before securing outer tie rods to steering knuckles through retaining nuts at 60 nm (44 ft. Lbs.). After tire and wheel reinstallation you must remove the drain pan then put the vehicle back down before bleeding the Rack And Pinion system and conducting front toe adjustment.
