Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather necessary tools and parts.

3. Examine and Replace Power Steering Pump (if necessary)

• Sub-steps:
  1. Disconnect the power steering fluid lines from the pump.
  2. Unbolt the power steering pump from its mounting bracket.
  3. Install the new power steering pump and torque bolts to manufacturer specifications.
  4. Reconnect fluid lines and ensure no leaks are present.

4. Inspect and Replace Steering Rack (if necessary)

• Sub-steps:
  1. Remove the tie rod ends from the steering rack.
  2. Disconnect any electrical connectors or hoses attached to the steering rack.
  3. Unbolt the steering rack from the subframe and remove it from the vehicle.
  4. Install the new steering rack and torque bolts to specifications.
  5. Reattach tie rod ends and ensure proper alignment.
