Review on ๐Ÿ”ง Enhance Steering Performance with Beck Arnley 103 3069 Steering Rack by Billy Ivy

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Just made today - Rack and Pinion

When I first tried it the price doesn't bite. took two hours. First time using an idler pulley puller to remove the tie rod (heavy landing but still easy enough). Use plastic bag lube per youtube but use a large flathead screwdriver (took a few minutes) to get through, this is for a 2010 toyota sienna, passenger side (common problem per youtube, this car had nothing but issues), water pump failed on 39,000, transmission failure at 60,000, now power steering failure at dealership for 85,000, estimated replacement cost: 1.2,000, no drops of liquid on garage floor, top up power steering fluid not yet needed, finger checked, trunk found broken, no wonder the KIA minivan according to consumer report now is number one), cut the inner metal link and remove the outer clip (damaged). Fit a new cover, check the front of the vehicle (below) to make sure it is in place. Put some grease on the inner tie rod joint on You Tube. Tried to use the metal binding from the order, it is difficult to tighten, decided to use the binding on both ends, after driving for a while, will check whether it stays, little space, it is difficult to tighten. Replace tie rod with steering knuckle, tighten to 36 ft/lbs (17mm head), use new cotter pin. The first time I'm very satisfied and exhausted (lost 3 pounds of fluids). Also changed the engine oil/filter as the car is on a jack and the service light is on. The sump has been leaking oil for years, the dealer suggested replacing the upper sump gasket with more than 4K, no coincidence, a bar 11 oz motor oil leak plug was added again today. I keep my fingers crossed. Total time 3 hours including cleaning. and remove everything. I hope this helps someone who dares to try it for the first time. It is possible.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
