Removal
Caution: Before disconnecting the steering shaft from the rack and pinion, lock the steering wheel by setting the wheels straight ahead. Once the steering gear has been removed, the steering wheel cannot be turned. For this purpose, it is recommended to tie the steering wheel with twine.
Caution! If your vehicle is equipped with airbags, you must follow the safety rules and precautions required in such situations. In such cases, we recommend that you perform the removal and installation of the steering gear yourself only if you have certain experience.
In most cases, the steering gear is replaced due to wear and tear only after a long period of use, and therefore we recommend entrusting this work to a workshop.
Important! After removing the steering gear, the tie rod end ball joint nuts and the steering shaft crosspiece nut on the rack and pinion must be replaced with new ones, so purchase them in advance. To press out the tie rod end bearing pins, you will need a suitable puller.
1. Disconnect the battery. Please write down the access code before doing this if your car radio is equipped with one.
2. Loosen the wheel nuts and place the front of the car on jack stands. Remove the front wheels.
3. Unscrew the nuts 1 of the support pins of the tie rod ends (see illustration).

9.4 Press out the tie rod end pins on both sides of the tie rod using a suitable puller
To avoid damaging the threads on the pin when using the puller, it is recommended to use the following technique. Do not unscrew the nut from the tip support pin completely, but only until it is at the end of the pin. The puller cam will be on the nut being removed when it begins to interfere with further pressing out.
5. Remove the tie rod end. If the tip pin is too tightly seated in the hole of the steering knuckle and cannot be pushed out by the puller cam, then you should hit the cam attached to the tip pin with a hammer.
6. Remove the heat shield attached to the underside of the vehicle (see illustration).

7. Remove the speedometer drive shaft flex and the speedometer sensor plug, as they will interfere with further work.
8. Disconnect the steering shaft from the rack, working from inside the car. To do this, press out the retainer and remove the bolt, then push the crosspiece to the side (see illustration).

9. Loosen both power steering hoses on the subframe and remove them.
10. Unscrew the union nuts of the pressure and outlet pipes of the power steering. At this point, some liquid will leak out of the system, which can be collected with a rag. After disconnecting the hoses, the holes should be plugged to prevent dirt from getting in (see illustration).

11. Remove the two steering housing mounting bolts.
12. Move the steering gear with the secured tie rods to the right side and remove it by lowering it.
When replacing the tie rod ends, it is necessary to unscrew the lock nuts and disconnect the ends from the rod. When unscrewing the tips, you need to count and remember the number of turns required to disconnect each tip from the rod. Subsequently, the new tips will need to be screwed onto the rod with the same number of turns. This ensures that the previous length of the transverse steering rod and, accordingly, the wheel alignment angle remains the same. Wheel alignment must be checked and adjusted if necessary both after replacing the tie rod ends and after installing the old ones on the new steering gear.
