Power Steering Rack Replacement! - Buick Rack and Pinion Removal

Hey folks, in this video we're going to show you a power steering rack replacement on a Buick Regal. This Rack and pinion removal will also be useful for the: Buick Oldsmobile and Pontiac models that have the 3.8 and quite possibly many other front wheel drive general motors vehicles.

Power steering leaks happen all the time, and it's easy to rack up a big bill at the repair shop (get it) :D. So we wanted to show you the easiest way for you to remove your rack and pinion on your Buicks, GM vehicles

This video is going to show you the easiest way to replace your power steering rack.
To save time I only wrote one description for the installation video and the removal video please don’t think too bad of me LOL this is a lot a lot of work!!! And even though I know not too many people are going to be working on these automobiles any longer I was doing the work and I felt like my video described it much better than the other videos that I seen on YouTube so hopefully you will think the same thing as well.

Automobile manufacturers actually only make 4 to 7 different model cars but they may have up to 15 different names and styles for them underneath the sheet metal the vehicles are often identical they do this to continuously make profits and making more of one part is much easier than making fewer of several different parts.

It’s probably going to be very similar to the rack and pinion removal on a grand am am as well.

We would very much appreciate if you would watch the whole video .(sometimes I’m fun) So you can inform yourself with all the great information that I put in my videos and God bless. I hope the videos helpful for you!

And Thank you for viewing!

Have a great day

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.

Nice work and video Clay. The more I watch these videos on rack and pinion the more I am inspired to do my own. Thanks Much.

[JacobUnger-xi]

Thank you for all your help it made my job much easier

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.

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.

Ok man, like and subscribed. 2001 Buick LeSabre, looks like we're gonna be buddy's for a while

Well explained. Going to be replacing the rack & pinion on a 2002 buick lesabre. Thank you. Subbed and thumbs up!

[jasons]

Thanks for this video. I referenced it several times in order to remove the rack and pinion from my 07 Buick Lucerne.

[bobdelabourer]

Great video. Very well explained and illustrated. Thank you much .

[sandman]

That was a great video you actually took your time to teach thank you so much I'm confident I can replace my now

[jasonstewart]

Yep just like mine they are bout all the same bro.bracket broke on mine.welded the hell out of it.doing good no leaks no problem.better than stock baby

[ryanlong]

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.

[jakepayne]

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

[loriodell]

What about the magna steer. How do u know if u have that on the 2000 buick lesabre custom?

[garrettkinch]

This video rocks !!! Keep wrenching my friend 👌

[dtrupe]

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?

[jeffreyallen]

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?

Hi u doing my 2013 Buick lacrosse service power steering light came on and my wheel wnt turn at all once I parked it

[dourhours]

Do I automatically need to buy a new rack and pinion or cud it be sumthin else
