Mercedes Rack and Pinion Assembly - TRW 230460120088

Product Information

Power steering racks (rack and pinion) are usually a lifetime component for most cars. However, there are certain scenarios in which a power steering rack can fail and will need to be replaced. We often find that poor maintenance of the system (leaks, old fluid, damaged hoses) can cause premature failure. Part failures within the rack itself are also common. Seals can fail causing leaks and poor system pressure. We also find that worn inner tie rod boots that are damaged can allow for water, dirt, and other contaminants to get inside the rack causing havoc with the power steering system as a whole. If you rack is leaking or making grinding sounds, it will need to be replaced.

• Leaks at sealing points
• Tight steering feel
• Grinding noises
• Numb spot in steering
