Detailed Product Description
This remanufactured rack and pinion assembly features an electric motor included for direct replacement in the steering system.

The assembly includes inner tie rods but excludes outer tie rods and control modules. With a rack length of 47.5 inches and 2.75 turns lock to lock, it provides precise steering response. The unit is equipped with multiple connector pin counts (2-pin, 3-pin, and 5-pin) to ensure compatibility with the vehicle’s wiring harness. The assembly mounts securely using two mounting holes and does not require pressure or return port thread connections, as it is an electric system.
Common Applications and Problem Resolution
- Restores steering response in Buick Verano and Chevrolet Cruze models
- Replaces worn or damaged electric rack and pinion assemblies
- Addresses issues with steering motor failure or input shaft wear
- Corrects excessive play or looseness in steering components

Installation Notes and Tips
Ensure compatibility with Buick Verano, Chevrolet Cruze, or Cruze Limited before installation. Verify connector pin counts (2-pin, 3-pin, and 5-pin) match the vehicle’s wiring harness. The included inner tie rods simplify installation, but outer tie rods must be reused or replaced separately. Proper alignment and torque specifications should be followed during mounting using the two provided mounting holes. Since this is an electric rack and pinion, no hydraulic pressure or return port connections are necessary.
