    This video was great and really helpful for when we were doing this so thanks a ton. One thing I would add from our experience is that we didn’t need to actually lower the frame to get it out or dislodge from the steering column.

      @@sharpcarco Hey Clay....I did my 09 DTS rack and pinion yesterday....and as you promised, I feel the sense of accomplishment. I never did a rack before and never touched a subframe bolt, LOL but noooooow, I can say, I did one before!. Thanks again for your inspiration.

    Very quick to the point and not wasting a lot of time video which is what I like. Around the 14:10 mark those ratcheting swivel long box wrenches are one of the best sets of wrenches I ever bought. The set I bought are made by Mountain Tools which I believe they make for Matco Tools. Now I need to pick up some of those crows feet wrenches.

    Excellent video. I watched a few videos before when I originally ordered my new R&P for a 1996 Buick Riviera. I'm glad I checked again and found yours since it looks identical to what I have to do. You have a knack for describing things well without being too verbose as you are in the middle of doing the procedure, just like Eric The Car Guy.

    I like the angle you took to get to the rack power steering line hose nuts. I plant to cut my regular 18 mm crows foot wrenches I half to make it easier to get to them. The stubby 18s aren’t sold locally.

    I can't get the R&P connected to the steering link with that 11MM bolt. It looks like it's going in then just jams up. Tried spreading it but I'm not sure how well it spread

    • @sharpcarco
      @sharpcarco  2 месяца назад +1

      Take a screwdriver and a pair of Channell locks put the screwdriver in between there and twist it with the channel locks so you make sure that you get it spread apart

    I have a 2001 Century with loose steering. Not sure if rack and pinion needs to be replaced yet, but I am considering replacing everything - tie rods, and control arms. Would you recommend anything else?

    @jeffreyallen6091 11 месяцев назад

    It's important to know if you have magmasteer or not. I'm thinking if you have electrical wires running to your rack you have magnasteer and if you don't you don't. Am I correct?

    Hey man, is this similar to a 2005 Buick Century with 3.1 V6? Thanks

    • @sharpcarco
      @sharpcarco  2 года назад +1

      Very much so because they are the same frames and basically the same models even though they have a different engine it should be extremely similar if not identical

    Oil seals for these rack & pinion each cost from $30 to $60 a piece. So money wise, by the time you rebuild them you might as well bought a whole new one.

    • @sharpcarco

      I feel ya…. I say that stuff in my videos because sometimes even that $160 difference is the difference between eating for a week for some families and paying rent so.

      3 reasons most of rust we are in Michigan……. 2 you MAY need an alignment 3 it doesn’t need to be done it’s not necessary.

      It’s also hard to hear me when you’re skipping through the video…….. since the only reason you would show any kind of animosity with a statement like that would be because you didn’t hear why I was wearing it……. Because it definitely didn’t have anything to do with Covid
