    Rack Pinion bushing orientation question!!

    2004 Liberty I got one of those re-manufactured Cardone R/P and now I am unsure of bushing placement. At first I put the bushing in from the topside. HOWEVER, I think I need to put them in from the bottom. Is the flange of the bushing supposed to go in between the R/P and frame? It does...

    i am not sure if they have orings or not? regardless, any type of thread prep or not really? what if part is new? you need to take hard lines off to install rack...I do not necessarily need new orings if the part is new do i?

    HOW TO: Steering rack replacement

    when removing the hard lines on the rack, is there any thread prep or anything you can put on the thread hard lines for added protection from leaking in the future?

    Vehicle will not start after engine wash...

    maybe fluke. I might have done a heavy dose of water. I just bought the jeep and wanted to give a good cleaning and get a "baseline" now that I have it. :) it was a bit neglected and so I got it clean all right!! I will try to be a bit gentler on future engine bay cleansing

    Steering pump, high pressure hose, switch...etc questions?

    I hear what you're saying. But don't most people get stuff at the auto stores? I mean the rack was 600+ at dealership and about 280 at NAPA...big difference. The hoses at auto zone are about 80 for the pressure one and 20 for the return hose. I think the high pressure at dealership was 180!

    Steering pump, high pressure hose, switch...etc questions?

    hey thanks for the heads up! well, I cannot afford an original part...do you think Autozone or Oreilleys would be better? I think AutoZone is Duralast and Oreilleys is Cardone too. what do you think? It is a lot of work for me too. Nothing has gone wrong yet but there have been a lot of mini...

    HOW TO: Steering rack replacement

    Steering pump, high pressure hose, switch...etc questions?

    I removed the pressure hose from bottom of pump already. If there was a sensor, do you mean it is attached to the pump as well? Because nothing else was on pump other than the return hose. 1) sounds like I do not have sensor, do you agree? 2) what is purpose of sensor? Why some...

    Steering pump, high pressure hose, switch...etc questions?

    Trying to put new rack, pump, and hoses in. Confused about some things... The high pressure hose loops up near driver side head light in engine bay and back down to rack. The 2 flexible parts are connected by a U-shaped hard line near head light. It is hard for to see the U-shaped hard line in...

    Vehicle will not start after engine wash...

    thanks for checking back. I think you were originally right. I had to tow it to dealer and I feel like idiot. Had to listen to guy school me on how to wash an engine. whatev... Anyhow, I think it was primarily just condensation and wetness in each of the 6 coils. I removed one and test fit...

    HOW TO: Steering rack replacement

    quick question... when you remove the tie rod end from the spindle, is it just the nut? or do you also have to put 10mm on bottom of ball link and unscrew that as well? things are pretty corroded. do i need a big hammer and beat it until it comes free? thanks
