Detailed Description

Part number 3517 is a remanufactured hydraulic steering rack designed to restore steering response and hydraulic assist on compatible Jaguar vehicles. It is built with OE-grade sealing components, inspected under a certified remanufacturing process, and tested to verify pressure and flow before release. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application. Compatible With 1998-2006 Jaguar XK8, N/A; 2000-2006 Jaguar XKR, N/A; 1998-2003 Jaguar Vanden Plas, N/A; 1998-2003 Jaguar XJ8, N/A; and 1998-2003 Jaguar XJR, N/A. Use 3517 when replacing a worn hydraulic rack and pinion on Jaguar XK8 or Jaguar XJ8 steering systems that require a remanufactured complete unit without sensor.

What It Helps Address

• Steering play or looseness from internal rack wear
• Hydraulic leaks from aged seals or O-rings
• Rough or inconsistent power steering assist
• Contamination entering the rack through deteriorated bellows
• Noise or reduced steering precision caused by worn steering components

Installation Notes

Flush and refill the steering system with OE-approved power steering fluid before installation. Inspect hoses, fluid condition, and related steering components during replacement to help protect the rebuilt unit and maintain OE performance. Verify the vehicle’s sensor requirement before ordering, since this application is listed as without sensor.
